First let me commend you on your exceptional patience. There have been  
a lot of "answers" directed your way that were less than helpful, and  
even hostile (it seemed to me).

That is most definitely a 4-pin iLink (aka Firewire) port. Proof can be  
found here:

Sounds like our work here is done. We're all a little wiser now, though  
... thanks to you!
