Which Firewire cable do I need to connect between FW400 and FW800?

I basically need to connect an older iMac to a new MBP but they both have different FW connections - I always get confused when it comes to cables so if anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be grand, cheers.

I think this is what you need

Do I then just need a 9pin male to male for some Target Disk Mode-age?

You could do a 9pin to 6pin cable instead:

More length and color options here:

And if you did buy that adapter, you would need a 6pin to 6pin, not a 9pin to 9pin.

I have one like this and use it to connect FW400 disk to MBP unibody FW800.

Does anybody have any reliable UK online stores that stock this sort of stuff? Shipping from the USA adds around $25 to the order...
