either four or six, the four port ones don't provide their own power, where as the six pin ones will.
cheers mate
rite ma lappy has got a 4 pin port.....checked the manual from the audio interface and it says the interface cant draw power from a 4 pin firewire cable so wot do i do here???Quote:

You will have to get an adapter for the DC socket. If it doesnt come with one, make sure it is the right rating for the unit.Quote:

so when a get the 4 - 6 pin adaptor it just means tht the interface isnt bus powered, (thts were the DC socket comes in) but the interface will still b connected with the lappy??
