As I
understand it, Firewire drives are basically ATA drives with a 1394
adapter built in to them. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, although
I have heard of so-called "native" Firewire drives.
According to Apple, Jon Anderson is recording his next album using 1394
disks and a Macintosh. If it's good enough for him... :-)

This is true for the vast majority of 1394 drives today, and I think
likely to be true for a long time to come.
