Third reason? Powered Firewire port(Pro version of
Apple laptops only).
I can also count on one hand the amount of PC laptops with this single
feature. Now I will admit flat out, the apple laptops only provide 7w
of power on their firewire ports as opposed to the spec of 15. But it
allows me to run my interfaces that draw power off the port with no
problem and I don't have to lug around a wall wort.
The iBook G3 (dual USB) and MacBook both have 6 pin firewire ports. Are
you saying they are 6 pins without actually supplying power? I don't
have any firewire powered devices to test with.
