[Ti] Re: no FW800

[Wilson Ng]

Probably to your disbelief, there are quite a lot of people that never take
advantage of FW800. So it won't be missed by them.

At least Apple kindly put that ExpressCard/34 slot so that you can connect
FW800 through there. That ExpressCard/34's specs certainly appear capable of
handling FW800 speeds whereas the old PC Card slot would not have been able
to handle it.

Heck, I remembered the old days when I had to buy a FW400 PC card so that my
old Lombard can handle FW400.

The ExpressCard/34 slot will save our butts in the long run. I'll beat PC
card manufacturers are ramping up production of their products to work with
this new interface.
