Looking for firewire adapter

[tdowning]

I have a motherboard without firewire, a PCI firewire card with an internal port, just like the external ones, and a case with a front panel firewire port. (Antec Sonata to be exact)

I have popped the bezel off and discovered that the cables running from the motherboard to the ports (2 USB 1 Firewire-6-pin, 2 audio minijack) are attacked to a PCB much like the the business ends that plug into the motherboard, and they appear to be seperate, (1 for firewire, 1 for 2xUSB ports, 1 for audio) question is, can I get:

a. a replacement cable that runs from the PCB in the bezel and terminates at the other end with a male? (not sure about definition of male/female for those connectors) 6-pin firewire connector

b. an adapter that has a 6 pin firewire connector and 6 male pins just like the ones on my mobo for the xtra USB 2.0 ports

You could build your own cable I suppose if you knew the setup, but what I did when I was looking for a case was simply to find one that came with the right cable.

ie. AT least for some brands, the right cable does exist, but finding it is another matter if it doesn't already come with the case.
