Amazon.com Product Description The Sonnet FAD-824 FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter allows you to use your old FireWire 400 devices with newer FireWire 800 ports.
Avoid Hassles--Just Adapt! Which cable should you get? What length? Why bother? Use your existing FireWire 400 cables with this FireWire adapter from Sonnet to connect FireWire 400 devices to a FireWire 800 port, without going through the trouble of purchasing yet another cable. Just plug it in between a FireWire 800 port and a standard FireWire 400 cable's 6-pin male connector (the other end of the FW400 cable plugs into your FireWire device). It can't get any simpler.

Sonnet firewire 400 to 800August 5, 2010 JAY(MIAMI USA) Im going from my pro tools firewire 400 out to my powerbook firewire 800 & it works fine . I recommend it . A cheap & easy way to resolve mismatch firewire ports..
Slimmest DesignJuly 30, 2010 Artist Robert(Irvine, CA United States) This works perfectly as I expected, but the best feature is its slim design that allows me to plug in a USB cable to the adjacent port on my MacBook Pro. I tried another product (with ribbed sides) first, but it interfered with an adjacent USB cable connector. The Sonnet adapter fit without any problem.
Works.June 28, 2010 Alec Cummings(Boston, MA) It works fine and dandy, but it so big and awkward that sometimes its hard to stick it in if there are multiple items taking up the adjacent spaces. No technical problems thus far, though.
solid productMay 19, 2010 D. Strakovsky(mostly USA) Solid Product. I used it with both firewire camera and external drive on MacBook Pro. What more can one write about an adapter? It works :)
Worked Like A ChampApril 29, 2010 MacMan(Cincinnati) I only used this once with the migration manager to move data and settings from a Mac mini to a MacBook Pro. Worked just like it was supposed to.
