    Hi again guys. I went on a bit of a spending spree this weekend and I bought a WD My Book 500GB External from Newegg. I was wondering what kind of Firewire port I had on my dv5000t. I'm no expert on Firewire, I don't use it much, I know what FW400 and FW800 looks like, but I'm not familiar with the "mini" ports or whatever they put on laptops these days...

    Thanks a lot for all your help! :D
