Sep 9, 2013 10:25 AM in response to Aaron Zwasby EZ Jim,Connect your Apple Thunderbolt Display using your MBA's Thunderbolt port.
Then connect your old Firewire iSight to one of the Firewire 800 ports on the display. If you don't already have one that works, you will need a FW400-800 adapter or cable.
Be aware of Possible Conflicts with Firewire iSight. If you encounter such problems with your MBA system and cannot resolve them, you can workaround the Firewire issues by using a Mac compatible USB external camera.

Thanks for your quick response! Unfortunately, my external monitor is not a Thunderbolt Display. It is a simple Acer monitor thatI connect to from my MBA's Thunderbolt port.
Any other thoughts for use with a non-Apple monitor? Thanks again...

If your "non-Apple monitor" has no Firewire output port(s), all I can suggest is to use a compatible USB cam connected to your MBA's USB port.
