Publisher's description of Apple FireWire Drivers

From Apple: FireWire 2.3.3 is a component of the Mac OS. The FireWire 2.3.3 software includes three system extensions:
  • FireWire Support: This extension adds services to the Mac OS to support the use of FireWire hardware and software
  • FireWire Enabler: This extension adds hardware-specific support for certain FireWire interfaces
  • FireWire CardBus Enabler: This extension adds hardware-specific support for the Newer FireWire 2 Go CardBus interface, for use with PowerBook computers
FireWire 2.5 supports more devices on a single FireWire bus and fixes a problem that could cause FireWire devices to work incorrectly when the computer is shut down.

Note: To use FireWire 2.5, you need a Macintosh computer with built-in FireWire ports, or at least one FireWire PCI card or CardBus card installed. To use FireWire 2.5 on a blue-and-white Power Macintosh G3, you should first install Mac OS 9 or the G3 Firmware Update 1.0.2 or 1.1. This software provides PCI performance adjustments that are necessary for maximum FireWire performance.
