Firewire cable help
I have a firewire 400 external HDD that I'd like to get connected to my i3 iMac 3.06 GHz (2011, I think. Model Identifier: iMac11,2). Having a hard time finding the right cable. I got one that connects OK to an MBP, but not to the iMac. All I get from About This Mac is:
FireWire Bus: Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec.
How can I tell what cable will work? The HDD part is no mystery—it's the iMac side that's confusing. It's a bit hard to match up the iMac's f/w port with cable pics on the web, so I am thinking I would need more info about the cable. TIA.
(Don't think it matters, but OS = 10.6.8)
