It takes a 9-pin rectangular connector. Here is a link to what it looks like: http://firewirestuff.com/images/050761031705_15.gif Cables are available in various combinations of 9-pin FW800 and 6- and 4-pin FW400. My camera is a 4-pin FW400. The older desktop Macs are 6-pin FW400. Hope this helps!

I bought a 6/4 pin cable and was able to use it on my G4 iMac, but nothing I have fits into my new iMac. I need something that transfer files from my old to new computer. Also, one I can use with my video camera. Any suggestions? Same here. I bought a 6/4 pin cable and was able to use it on my G4 iMac, but nothing I have fits into my new iMac.

I know that four of these ports are USB and not firewire. I have just purchased an A to D converter with a 6 pin firewire cable. That cable does not fit into any of these ports. I have also purchased a firewire 6 pin to 4 pin cable. None of these fit into the ports on the back of the imac. So could you explain which ports on the back of the mac seen in your photo do you think are firewire??? Thanks. I see on your photo 9 ports. I know that four of these ports are USB and not firewire.
