In search of an nForce2 board w/FireWire...

The manual for the DFI  LanParty NFII Ultra says "nVIDIA(R) nForce2TM MCP-T
and Agere FW803 Phy chips", so I guess that's what you mean (

)

Some flavor of the MSI K7N2G  might have it:

The AOpen AK79G-1394 and AK79D-1394 (search this support page to download
manuals http://usa.aopen.com/download.aspx) are prospects as well.

I was just busting out some GoogleFu because I was curious :)
