This post is part of a series covering different connection methods for hardware interfaces. Today we focus on establishing connections using the FireWire interface.

Desktops with Native FireWire Support

If your desktop computer features a built-in 6-pin FireWire socket, connecting compatible devices is straightforward: simply use cable model CA-1394-66/3 to link the device and system port directly.
