    Firewire 800

    Anyone still use Firewire 800? I went through my storage (spring cleaning) and found 2 really nice Firewire 800 4 bay Hotswapable Drive Towers that I used back when I worked on Apple / Mac systems. I have no use for them because I no longer work on Apple / Mac systems and was wondering if they were worth trying to resell or just send them to the recycle center?

    I am guessing by the lack of comments that Firewire 800 is not used anymore. It is clearly faster than USB2 but not USB3 and USB3 being the standard now I guess Firewire 800 is no longer desired.

      Not really. I've used 400 for DV cams and Mac repairs though. I'd try to sell them as they seem pretty nice an unique.

        They also support RAID so they may still have some value. I guess I will list them along with the 12 hard drives that come with them and see if I get anything for them.

          I'd wager there is some mac lover who would just "have" to have them... or a multimedia/av person (as firewire 800 was common there too, as are macs).

            Apple Watch Charging Controller Schematics / Boardview - 820-02601
            by a_p3rson
            Hi there,

            I'm looking for anyone who might have information on Apple's embedded Apple Watch charging daughterboard, ID 820-02601. This is currently used by Anker in their Apple Watch charging products, but likely by other Apple partner brands as well.

            You can see the board referenced in ChargerLab's teardown of the Anker Y1811 3-in-1 MagSafe cube - they discuss the "Apple Watch wireless charging circuit" about 2/3rds down the page. It's not pictured, but the board ID reads 820-02601-A, which sure sounds like Apple.
