You can try using firewire to isolate a possible problem, but no, Firewire (at its fastest) is 800Mbps. Versus 5000Mbps for USB3 (5Gbps.)

Hookup your firewire input on your computer and then go from the external (My Book) to your other firewire input.

I don't know - I stopped using this drive due to unreliable communication with the host computer. I never got the Firewire to work, and the USB often requires many attempts before the drive connects.

I believe you do need a FireWire cable- you can buy a FireWire card for about $26 right here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002S53IG8/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1360677485&sr;=1-1π=SL75You then just have to use your capture device program (Sony Vegas, or whatever Sony program comes with the camera) and you choose "capture video" and it will auto start the tape on the camera and begin pulling in th video from the camera.

I purchased this product because I have a MacBook with a firewire so I was thinking to use it because firewire is faster than usb but did not work I did a review and said do not buy it

Hi there. No, there is no firewire or other port. There is just the one USB.

No, this won't work for you. It does not allow USB to FireWire. They are separate hubs in this device.

I'm not really sure but the USB and firewire connection works just fine for me.

what if I bought an adapter for the fire's mini-usb port and connected that to a keyboard. Wouldn't it work then? Or is it a software communication problem that wouldn't be fixed even if I could get the fire and usb keyboard to physically connect to each other correctly?

If the dongle you have is a standard usb male on the one end and the Fire uses a micro usb than physically they'll connect. Whether the two devices are compatible is another question to which I don't have an answer. Hope this was of some use.

You just have to but the thunderbolt to firewire cable. It comes with a firewire cable

I don't know that you can find a firewire to Thunderbolt adapter going from new tech drive to old tech computer.. as said already.. it normally goes the other way around.

I checked my manual and can find nothing relating to a firewire port. I also looked for a reference to IEEE and could find nothing on that either. It has HDMI ports, ethernet, and USB ports. Hope this helps. Wouldn't this type of port be listed in the tech list? Good luck finding what you need.
