IEEE 1394 Jack

The 4-pin IEEE 1394 (Firewire) jack is a high-speed
interface (400 Mbps) that can be used to transfer large
amounts of data between your notebook and a Firewire
peripheral such as a digital camera, external hard drive,
or video camera. Hot-swappable and plug-n-play, it is
much faster than USB 1.1, CardBus, or parallel port. To
connect a 1394 device, follow these steps:
