firewire cable with open end
Hi all
Can I leave a firewire 400 to 800 cable which I want to use occasionally open ended? Plugged into my 003 but not into my mbpso just disconnected at the 800 end of the cable and not terminated in other words |

Re: firewire cable with open end
I was under the impression that hot-patching FW with 002/003 can fry the circuit board in the 003(it happened to me anyway)

And yes, I know the Firewire spec says it's "hot pluggable", but in this case, several people have learned it isn't...
