[G4] Dead FW ports

[Diannah Morgan]

I don't know if there's gonna be an open slot.  but, I'll check.
I know some of these machines already have expansion chasis' rigged up.
For awhile I thought maybe the fW was disconnected(as the mach also runs
AVID)
to accomodate some addressing issues with the expansion chasis.
