I'm out of FW400 ports on the back of my G5 and the iSight cable isn't long enough to run around to the front FW400 port (I don't want it there anyway). Anybody know if I can use this:

To plug my iSight into one of my free FW800 ports???
It'd make my life a lot easier because I tried installing a Belkin FW400/USB 2 PCI card and it kept crashing my system.
Thanks!

That should work fine, and you can save about $5 here, here, or here.

I ordered it from Buy.com. Hopefully it will work out.
Thanks!
