...when i start working that is

my only issue is there are no firewire ports on the new ones

i have an external hard drive that connects solely with firewire to my macbook now...

...that's a problem because everything i'll want on the new mac will eventually be all on the external


SO
i've been looking around, the people that work for mac on the phones are dumbasses and said there was nothing that can convert firewire to USB

i think i found a hub that may work
can anyone tell me if this is what i'm looking for?

to my understanding i'd be able to hook my external up to the hub, and then hook the new mac of up the hub as well, and i should be able to access the files that way








right?

That sounds like it would work.

i was hoping my research didn't prove futile


i just find when looking for things like this online they give you all the tech speak and you come away knowing even less than before

thanks for looking into it

We were just about to order a laptop the other day and found it had no firewire! so we had to start our build again from scratch
