Latitude D800 Mini Firewire Cable

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I've got a Latitude D800 which has a built in 'Mini
Firewire' port. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells
a cable to suit this port though. I need to connect a
Sony Camcorder (std 4-pin firewire) to this port. Can
anyone suggest somewhere (preferably in the UK) that
could supply one?

Thanks.

Are you sure that your existing cable is not a standard 6-pin and you
need a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter? Most notebooks have the 4-pin unpowered
port.

That's what I thought, but I've double checked and my
cable is definitely a 4-pin (I've also got a 6-pin
cable!)
