Thanks.
Not an option for me now because i don't have the budget to buy a mini drive (s). However i will keep that in mind.
I think i found the solution:
☑ plug the 800 to 400 adapter cable to the iMac 800 FW port
then
☑ cable a 400 powered HUB to the FireWired Adapter
then
☑ plug the 400 devices into the 400 powered HUB.
I know that this hookup will not give me the 800 speeds but i need to make use of my 400 FW devices by turning them on or off when required rather then the daisy chain which has caused me some grief.
I have to review/research this hookup and then give a try.
