Yes, the builtin Firewire is interesting.
Again, as I'm trying to keep costs down I have found D-link Firewire cards 
for 12 UKP. I've ordered four of them.
One of the other ideas I had was to link a cluster up with Firewire, and 
see how it performs.

These cards have three ports (haven't arrived yet).
Does anyone have good pointers to Firewire/1394 resources please?
