Firewire on Asus P4S800D?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi, my case has a firewire port at the front, but I'm unsure as to whether
my motherboard is capable. How does this port connect? I can see nothing in
the motherboard manual that specifically refers to firewire, does it have
its own connection or a generic one?

Anyone with the same mb who can inform me would be golden...

The firewire cable differs from the USB cable - look for 1394 stamped on
the cable jacket - that's the firewire cable.
