The latest gen Macbooks do not come with a firewire port, rendering my firewire drive and its 100+ gb worth of **** I need flaccid and shriveled.
Stick that in your hat, remove trou, and prance around gleefully Josh. You earned it. lthumbsdown:

if not, they make adapter cables to make it work

No they don't. You can't go USB-FW.

You can get another enclosure and stick the drive in it...but yeah, Apple ****ed up with the lack of FW on the new MBs.

We are fully aware that the new MacBook does not have a FireWire port. We have tested this with with an iMac using OS 10.5 running Parallels 3.5 with Windows XP, and it works flawlessly. We are having some other users test other versions, such as Bootcamp and VMWare, but we expect these to work as well. We encourage you to try it. It is covered by our 100% guarantee.

you can also use a USB/Firewire hub too....one that has both USB and Firewire input w/ a USB output
