Firewire 400-800 adapter included?

[Fiete5401]

Huhu!

Does anybody know if the new MPs will ship with a Firewire 400-800 adapter?
The "What's included"-part of http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html doesn't list it but as far as I know the iMacs ship with such an adapter and it isn't listed there either.

Thanks in advance.

No.

However I highly recommend one of these:

In the past they haven't shipped any firewire cables with the Mac Pros. They will usually come with the drive/device you buy. The easiest is to just get a Firewire 800->400 cable (6pin 400 on one end for your device, 9 pin 800 on the other end for your MP). Or the adapter above.

Monoprice has some for cheap: http://www.monoprice.com/products/s...d=Firewire+Cables&keyword=firewire 800 to 400

I grabbed one of those Sonnet adapters for my MBPro and it works perfectly. I wasn't aware they gave you adapters with the iMac's? I don't think the ones at my work shipped with any. Maybe only in the US?

My iMac did not come with fw800 to fw400 either. I purchased from USA apple online store. Had it shipped to NJ.

Thx

Thanks for your answers.

I think I'll go for the Sonnet adapter.
It looks sturdy and prevents any more cable clutter.
