|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board New Mac needs new CF reader Darren Whitley, Photographer Northwest Missouri | MO | USA | Posted: 3:00 PM on 07.26.10 ->> I've unpacked my new MacPro at work and of course Apple has made Firewire 400 obsolete. What CF reader do you all recommend? I'm thinking a FW800 reader would be good. Please chime in with your favorite reader.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

But FW800 is backwards compatible with FW400. All you need is a cable or adapter. Here are just a couple examples: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10301&cs_id=10... http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FIR1369AD/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You just need a cable that has a FW 800 connector on one end and A FW 400 connector on the other. FW 800 on a MacPro is backward compatible to FW 400.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Never have a single problem.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Kevin M.

It comes with both a FW 800 to FW 800 cable and a FW 400 to FW 800 cable so you could for example still use it with older computers that only have FW 400 in a pinch.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I like the LEXAR better than the Sandisk FW800 reader because it had two FW800 connectors and can be daisy chained.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
