Does anyone make a firewire to USB cord?

My new MacBook that I picked up last April lacks a firewire port. I used to like to use my external iSight camera instead of the built-in camera back when I used my iBook G4 as my daily driver.

How can I hook this up again? Is there a wire that goes from firewire to USB? Can I cut a USB and a firewire and splice them together?

Once I find the cable, will my iSight work on my MacBook plugged into the USB port?

Thanks

Frank

Hi! I have a 2012 iMac G5 27 inch & I'm also looking for a Firewire. The port on the back is much smaller than the one on my 1st Mac, so I cannot connect my camcoder. Is the Firewire that you are dicussing compatable with my 2012 iMac? If not, can you please suggest to me where I may locate one that is?

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Pete

This is only one of those I could find. There are many others. Good luck. Ralph

Thanks. Incidentally, where is that DC-3 gate guard?

That was an Air Canada bird that was turned into the windsock for the Whitehorse Airport in the Yukon after its third forced winter landing on a lake. Ralph

Crazy follow up question -- could I use an adapter like that to plug into a Firewire port on my computer, then put a female to female USB adapter on it and plug in a USB peripheral? Or is the adapter only good for plugging firewire peripherals into a USB port?

It looks to me like it can be used either way. They do make specific cables for your purpose but they are expensive. Ralph

Wow, would one of these work for Migration Assistant to transfer stuff to a new, firewireless MacBook?
