[Ti] no FW800

[John Griffin]

Now there is an excellent question! With my Powerbook 1.5mhz I ran  
benchmarks on a LaCie “Big Disk” that has both FW800 and FW400. There  
was very little if any difference in the speed between the two  
interfaces. Perhaps it makes a difference on a Quad Powermac, but I  
doubt if it has much difference on anything else.

In real world use, I can find absolutely no difference in the  
performance of the Disk on my TiPB using FW800 and my iMac iSight G5  
using FW400.
