Customer Reviews
What a wonderful little gadget! I upgraded from my Powerbook to a MacBook Pro and needed the old 400 Firewire access for my Ist Gen iPod (yes, honestly). I pondered buying yet another cable (how many different ones do you have), when I came across this little beauty. Simple, easily storable, and does exactly what I want. A wonderful product.
Downside? It doesn't fit the macbook port in a snug enough way to stop it being knocked out. Now whether the 800 ports don't have a way to hold them in (the 400 has a bobble on the male end and a dip on the female for s secure connection) or the adaptor is just slightly too small on the male end I don't know.
Personally, next time I will buy a 400 to 800 cable instead. The male 800 may well be better constructed and fit more tightly.
Just plug in and away you go. :)
NO bells or whistles but what do you expect
