Is there a firewire 400 to 800 adapter or converter for iMac?

Asked by pamquestion (6points) May 21st, 2010

I have an epson 3200 scanner that uses firewire 400 but my new iMac only has firewire 800 slots. What do I need to purchase to attach the scanner to the iMac or use it with the iMac?

Just get a 400 to 800 firewire adapter, the 800 is backwards compatible. Older devices will work with the new 800 ports on the computer with adapter cables.

There are both adapters AND wires. They come in a very short length, which is nice sometimes.
