Are you a longtime Mac user? If so, you've probably purchased a few peripherals along the way”devices like DV camcorders, external drives, and even an old iPod or two”and some of them probably have FireWire 400 interfaces (a.k.a. IEEE 1394a and iLink). Your older Mac probably had at least two FireWire ports, so connecting more than one of those devices at the same time was easy. But, if you've purchased a new iMac, Mac mini, or MacBook Pro in the last couple of years, you may have run into a couple of problems when you tried to connect those great devices”there's only one FireWire port, and the connectors didn't match!
