it can be connected to a fourth type of host interface
port, FireWire 400, with the FireWire 800/400 9-to-6
pin interface cable. See section 4.3.1, Connecting to the

FireWire and USB, cannot be used at the same
time. You must connect the Biggest Quadra to the
host computer using one interface or the other.
