Response to: RE: iSight Drivers? -- offer for help and question

Thanks very much -- I did not know that firewire is 12v. I have ordered http://www.cmsproducts.com/detail.aspx?ID=16
so I'll let people know if it works in a few days.


I suppose that I could just take a 12v power supply and an unpowered 4-to-6 firewire cable and hook them up myself. This can't be too difficult to get right. I'll hunt around for the 6-pin spec, but if you happen to know of a clear picture and spec on the web I'd appreciate it. (If you know that this is a terrible idea, I'd appreciate that too).

    Scott, Check out this site - it has the pin outs for the 4 and 6 pin connectors - pins 1 and 2 are power and ground. IIRC, the shield is also tied to ground.

    You should be able to mod a cable and put a connector on the wires for pins 1 and 2 and hook up to an external supply. No reason it should not work.
