It’s not just for a macboook, it’s for the miniDVI camera I used for 8 months in 2005 to make crappy interlaced art films.
Exactly. I’ve never owned Apple anything and I’ve used 4-, 6-, and 8-pin FW cables all the time. My camcorders used it. My DJ turntables and 4-channel mixer did as well.
I miss being able to just daisy-chain all of it together, which reduced the number of ports you needed on the back of your PC. You could literally get away with having just 1 or 2 ports. USB never had that (and still doesn’t). It’s a shame that FireWire died off when IMO it should have continued to evolve and eventually replaced USB.
FireWire was taken from us too soon.
