internal port on a 1394 firewire card?

[stonehenge]

anybody with a firewire card that has an internal port actually using that port? ...with what device/cable?

I have a dual 1.3ghz G4 sawtooth with a pci firewire card with an internal port on it.

The single G4's all had an internal FW port built in to the motherboard.

I use an IFC-1P internal firewire converter plugged into an IDE drive and thus I have an internal firewire drive.

I did this before SATA drives were taking off, so if I was going to upgrade I'd get a SATA card with internal ports and a couple of SATA drives which has a much faster transfer speed than Firewire.

thanks jazzyj for the help! sata would be better, but i already have this card and some drives, so it'd only be fifty bucks to go with the adaptor. thanks again!
