Perhaps I've missed something, but while "Firewire" is a proprietary Apple item - a trademarked name - the technology isn't proprietary at all. It's all over the place. Moreover, the licensing fees ($0.5 a box, not a port) get split up between a bunch of different companies. While Apple might have wanted $2 a port at one time for itself, it backed away from that stance pretty damn quickly when smacked over the head by Sony and others. Anyway, you're dead on about the Trojan G3 ROM...if Apple doesn't release an fix by the time OS 9 shows up, I'm definitely going to have to rethink my technolust for that G4. For a few months at least. That might be as long as I can hold out...
