I just bought a new Macbook pro 13" and I have a iMac with Firewire 800 port. I want to hook these together to transfer data (like target disc mode I guess). What cord do I need??? 9 pin to 9 pin?

thanks

That's right. Here's a 10ft 9 pin to 9 pin cable for $5

You've also got the overhead introduced by the networking protocols, though.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
