Let's see how dumb AMD can be....

We all know that Apple invented Firewire and that Firewire is a nice interface for storage peripherals etc.. Superior to SCSI...

As far as I know, Intel will not put Firewire support into their upcoming Camino chipset (133MHz supports, super duper <G>)
Why, well maybe Intel thinks Apple wants too much for it or better yet, Intel has a habit of not readily supporting any standards that someone else controls. (Bully, ego, whatever reason)....

So is AMD listening? Make a deal with Apple and incorporate Firewire support into the K7 chipset, Iron whatever it is...and beat Intel to the punch...
