[1394] Are most FW cd-rw drives EIDE on the inside?

[Perry Mitchell]

I don't believe anybody makes them yet.
Beware of bits and bytes! 1394a is 400Mbits/sec or about 50MBytes/s. My
fastest FW drive can sustain about 35MB/s so I'm not sure where your
7800KB/s figure comes from?

Here are my questions:

What is this difference?  I know that ide transfers data at 7800 KB/S
and firewire moves it at 400 mbs.  What I want to know is,

How much more will I pay for a true Firewire CD-RW?
Is there such a thing?
Who makes them?
