As long as we are schmoozing about cables, I will put in a reminder to be
wary of cheap Firewire cables.  A few months ago, I was having some
intermittent problems with my Nikon LS-4000.  The source turned out to be a
3m FW cable that I had installed, so that I could move the scanner to a
table next to my desk.  The cable was a non-branded item purchased from an
online store.  Don't know if the problems were caused by interference, or
signal degradation in the cable.  I replaced it with a cable purchased from
the local Apple store, and the scanner now works fine.

Interestingly, the Apple FW cables are much thinner than the others I have
seen.
