FireWire, or IEEE 1394 of you want to get tech, is a high speed serial interface that allows anything up to 30Mbps transfer between various devices, most prominently DV cameras. Apple developed it and has finally sorted out the licencing of it to Sony et al, so it is now a   “standard”.

Designed for the Mac desktop and mobile solutions. Plug & Play ease of use. Hot-plug and unplug supported. Dual 6-pin FireWire ports. No device IDs or termination.” So there you go. They come is all shape and sizes [up 36 Gb] and definitely a must-have for any digibods out there. The site has all the product info and pics.
