You seem knowledgeable on the subject, what the hell is 8 pin firewire? 400 has 6 pins, 800 has 9 and the small version for camcorders and stuff is 4.

Worth pointing out that, just as a chimpanzee may not be particularly knowledgeable on the matter of chimpanzees, and fascists are generally not very well-educated on the history of Fascism, asking a cable to explain itself to you may not lead to the outcome you desire (although this FireWire cable does seem to be capable of producing at least some level of output, and stringing two words together is indicative of a greater capacity for thought than, for instance, a fascist)

Not the expert you're asking but I have a tangential thing that has served no practical purpose until now lol...

9pins only used 8 of them. It was possible to use a 9th but nothing standard/typical ever did.

There. Been carrying that one around for ages.
