I believe so, but I'm not seeing very many that actually have the
FireWire functionality wired up. The Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe and Abit NF7-S
v2 are the only two I can confirm have what I'm after. There may well be
a Shuttle board (MN31N) that fits the bill as well. The other thing to
watch out for are boards that have FireWire but use a stand-alone
FireWire chipset (such as at least one DFI nForce 2 board that uses an
Agere controller).
