I stand corrected. Apple did include FW800 ports on the last updates 
to the PowerMac G4 in late 2002, several months before the G5 was 
released, and continued to include them on the G4 PowerBooks after 
that. In the  pantheon of G4's, however, these units with FW800 
actually are pretty unusual. It was with the G5's that FW800 became 
ubiquitous, at least partly because there were virtually no FW800 
devices previous to their release. I was "historically incorrect," 
but kinda "practically correct!"
