I have a box full of firewire cables now, after spending the last couple of years collecting them and using them... they all "work" ok, ie they all transfer data, but there's a world of difference in how easy to use they are.
All the heavy duty cables are now sitting at the bottom of the box, I doubt I'll ever use them again.
The thin cables are so much nicer to use, you should try and get them rather than the thick cables.
The ultimate 6pin-6pin firewire cable is sold at Mac stores, it's a lovely thin white cable. I just wish Apple made longer 4-to-6 versions of it. I use one of these cables to connect the finderscope camera to the hub, but it's ideal for connecting the DMK to the hub. Not sure if you can still find these, and they cost an arm and a leg (typical Apple stuff!).
cheers, Bird
