Now that I have a fast and big FW800 LaCie external disk for backup, I would really miss the FW800 port, especially as files and amount of data is continuing to increase. FW400 will just be too slow. Having ONLY a FW800 port might have accelerated the move of peripherals in the right direction. This has not helped at all, as far as I can see. Trevor
