Testing firewire

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi:

I'd like to know if my firewire interface works before I set out to buy 
some miniDV - I have no devices to attach, or so I thought, I have two 
notebooks with firewire interfaces.

So I thought: Is this like ethernet that I need a crossed cable or can I 
connect the two with an ordinary cable and check that it works?

Thanks, Erik
