Does anyone know if the quicksilver comes with a firewire cable, and if so is it a 4pin to 6pin? I just bought the media converter and it is a four pin interface, and if I remember correctly firewire on the mac is 6-pin. I am still awaiting the arrival of my dual 800 and just wanted to know if I need to go purchase another cable.
thanks

My iMac DVSE 500 (summer of 2000) came with a 6 to 4 pin firewire cable. If I had to guess, your tower will come with one also

I wouldn't expect it to include one. My G4 (a year and a half old) didn't come with one, and I've never heard of it. iMacs have a tendency to ship with a whole load of stuff, G4s on the other hand are loners..

I was shipped an iMac a year and a half ago, and it came with one. So if SirCastor didn't get one with his G4 then I wouldn't expect you to get one with your tower.

My G4 Gigabyte tower (Aug/00) came with a 6pin firewire cable.
|
|
It's just my humble opinion.

The last TiBooks, G4/533 tower and cube I opened all had the cable. I don't think you need to get one.

You was robbed!
If it didn't come with my Ti, I must be having a Senior Moment at 30, cuz I know I never bought one- I don't own a DV camcorder. But yet, I'm carrying one in my Saddlebag, just in case the emergency need to capture DV ever arises 
Yeah, I'm confident the cable comes with it.

I never got one with my G4 Tower or with the Ti (not mine).

According to this Datasheet (Page 3, under the 3 configurations), you're getting one.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's the 4 to 6 pin camcorder cable.

Just got a G4QS 9 days ago, and it definately came with a 6-to-4 pin (mac to DV) cable. That makes two, including the one that came with my iMac DV.
