GaZaa Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Just had a quick look on Wikipedia as I'm after a firewire soundcard1394a also standardized the 4 pin connector already widely in use. The 4-pin version is used on many consumer devices such as camcorders, some laptops and other small FireWire devices. Though fully data compatible with 6-pin interfaces, it lacks power connectors.
