Sonnet Allegro Firewire 800
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro800.htmlapparently this card will allow you to use fw800 devices on mac os 9..
i have a fw800 external western digital "my studio" hard drive
and to use it on my g4's i have to use this fw400<->fw800 adapter
which works fine but the thing is very awkward and it
doesnt stay in the port all that well.
perhaps i need to get a different adapter, but
this card for the right price could be beneficial to people
who dont have need for their slots for other purposes!
note that this is a 64bit pci-x card!
