I believe this is presently the case. I also believe Apple will work with
Intel to bring firewire functionality in Intel up to par (hopefully better!)
with the G Macs.
I don't know this last bit but its my best guess.
Its a bios thing - don't ask me the details.
Intel Mac also don't boot into Open firmware and I don't think they run FW
800 yet. In fact they are mostly useful for the consumer end as many Pro
aspects await further development - software and hardware.
For various reasons things have to be rushed to market. Often less than
complete. Its the way the market works.

all the best
Brian
