Can this be folded small enough to it in a human body cavity?

The new MacBook might work better for that.

HI James,
Glad they finally updated the Mac Books with faster cpus and bigger
drives. Hopefully they have replaced the firewire with the TI or Lucent
ones like they silently did on the IMACs.

HI James,

Order one form me and I will !!! :)
Not like any of the Apple reps will know. Our rep didn't even know about
the firewire issues till I sent him all the Apple forum posts.

Done and done.

Just saw this comment on a Mac audio forum:

"my mbp is only one month old (bought in january,08) and is a refurb,
but booting in single user mode shows TI Firewire, so i assume it has
Texas Instruments chip. its the previous best 15" -> 2,4 ghz,4MB L2,
256vram,160hd. works like it should. i use metric halo 2882. so maybe
they changed the chip manufacturer sooner?"

So it looks like they went to the TI Firewire chip before this new
revision, which bodes well for _my next laptop_ (thanks Chris!).

Cheers,
-Jamie

Jamie, to be on the safe side, you might want to make a trip to the Apple
store near you and check for yourself.

Is that the only way to know? System Profiler just says "Firewire
bus" and doesn't mention a chipset.

Mine is a shade over 2 years old now.

I haven't used FW on it for much more than dumping my camera yet --
what are the issues?

Hi Paul,

Hold done the Apple and S keys at boot up to go into the terminal shell.
It will list the firewire controller when scanning the hardware.

The line will look something like this.

Firewire (OHCI) TI ID0825

It will be either TI, Lucent or Aegre.


Chris
