Does anyone make a firewire to USB cord?
My new MacBook that I picked up last April lacks a firewire port. I used to like to use my external iSight camera instead of the built-in camera back when I used my iBook G4 as my daily driver.
How can I hook this up again? Is there a wire that goes from firewire to USB? Can I cut a USB and a firewire and splice them together?
Once I find the cable, will my iSight work on my MacBook plugged into the USB port?
Thanks
Frank

This is only one of those I could find. There are many others. Good luck. Ralph

Crazy follow up question -- could I use an adapter like that to plug into a Firewire port on my computer, then put a female to female USB adapter on it and plug in a USB peripheral? Or is the adapter only good for plugging firewire peripherals into a USB port?
It looks to me like it can be used either way. They do make specific cables for your purpose but they are expensive. Ralph
Wow, would one of these work for Migration Assistant to transfer stuff to a new, firewireless MacBook?
