Will the Traveler, or any other Motu firewire interface work with the 4 pin mini firewire connector? I'm assuming that it can't be buss powered, but will it work?

Please check out this tech note:
4-pin or Firewire 800 Firewire with MOTU Firewire Interface

Also, regarding bus power:
I'm having trouble powering my Traveler or UltraLite via FireWire
(Note that this isn't a MOTU-specific limitation — the pins which are not present in a 4-pin FW cable are the ones that provide power.)

You're right. It will work fine but you'll have to use a DC power supply since the four-pin FireWire connector doesn't supply power.

Great! Thank you very much.
