Appletell reviews the Sonnet Firewire 400 to 800 adapter

Ah, the march of technology: Firewire 400 has lost its spot as the de facto way of transferring video to the Mac, replaced by USB 2, hard-disk based camcorders, and Firewire 800. But the original Firewire was so popular, speedy, and reliable that the devices which use it still have a lot of life in them. So the simple solution for someone who owns a Mac (or any computer, really) with only an 800 port is to buy a cable converter such as the Sonnet Firewire 400 to 800 adapter.
