I know now why you needed that 10m cable Mike. I have my old nw8000 laptop that has a firewire port 4pin A port on it. However to use this I think I need as you suggest an external powered hub. Else I could buy a Sunnix or Lacie 1394b pcmcia card, but LAcie are discontinued and I cant find any others. I will do further investigation on this.
As to filter wheel yes I will need something there for sure, but I am bargain hunting. So I will try to avoid the extra expense if i can. The problem is the bargains come up together and its hard to pass them up but its also hard on the pocket. When it rains it might as well pour.
