Yes other companies have different names for it and even different
capabilities. To quote the Wikipedia entry for example:
"Sony's implementation of the system is known as "i.LINK" (fully
incorporated in 1394a-2000), and uses only the four signal pins,
omitting the two pins which provide power to the device in favor of a
separate power connector on Sony's i.LINK products. The ports are
sometimes labeled "S100" or "S400" to indicated speed in Mbit/s."
When I got my 3G iPod back in 2003, it canme with a 4 wire adapter for
the firewire plug. I always thought that was because the early Apple
implementation of 1394 didn't have the two power lines just the four
data lines. I think this is wrong.

said 'remember when', it's not a remember when, but a 'did you know' other
companies call it other things. Remember when is past tense.

The rest of us all call it Firewire, including everyone in this thread.
What is your point?
Thank you,

Firewire is still called other things by the other companies who helped
develop it.
