Where to find frewire cable from DCRTRV280 to Sony Vaio VGN

Jan 3, 2011 9:32AM PST

I have a couple of Sony Digital 8 cameras and a lot of tape I would like to get on my Vaio VGN-NS16o E/S. I need a IEEE1394 cable with 4 pins on both ends. I manage a Radio Shack franchise store and there is no such item in the Radio Shack catalog.
All the IEEE1394 cables I can find are from going from the mini jack on my camcorder to the large end on a desktop. Mt Vaio has the same "mini" IEEE1394 port as both of my Sony Digital 8 camcorders do.
Surely this has come up before as an incompatibility of Sony product. Has anyone found where to source such a cable?
