Not sure. Its the customers call. We don't have firewire connectors on our single board computers I guess because we haven't had a call for them from any of our industrial customers but this customer could certainly add a firewire card. Interesting thought though. Wonder if I would get an "attaboy" if I suggested it.
For that matter, they could probably add a PCIe SATA card and everything would be fine?! Of course that would add a cost to their chassis they probably don't want to incur.
