Never had any problems with the round end to even try to open it up, but I had to fix the barrel end of one of these for my Clamshell iBook many years ago. As far as I remember, it’s basically just a single insulated wire and a wire mesh shield around it. If the break in the wire is near the...

Never got involved with combo USB/FW cards, so I can’t speak on those, but I do have two separate cards for USB and FW in my Beige G3. I’d have to dig out my Beige G3 to find exact details, but a generic CompUSA card (advertised as Mac OS9 compatible on the box, as I recall) that I bought at a...
