[UniMacTech] New MacBooks and Firewire

[David Wikeley]

Hi all,
    Before we purchase some new MacBooks, what are others doing about the
lack of a Firewire port on the new MacBooks?

How does Target Disk Mode work, we use this mode on a daily basis to set-up
new MacBooks. We boot off a system on the external drive and clone a system
to the new computer, very quick.

Does this mean that all our external  Firewire drives (no USB ports) will
just sit on the shelves to gather dust. Is there a third party USB to
Firewire adapter we can use.
