you know instead of just leaving a useless thread behind, you could've just left the question and the answer there so it might've helped somebody else.

well i hope no one else is retarded enough to completely overlook the firewire 800 port on their new macbooks like i did...

i had to google to know what 2012 MBP actually meant.

I think every new Mac should come with a fw400 to 800 adapter.

firewire doesn't need adapters like that, all you need is a fw400->fw800 cord, i have a few of such that came with my external HDDs.
