You can replace the complete logic board with one with Firewire support, but where you would obtain I'm not sure, as replacement boards are normally supplied on an exchange basis. It wouldn't be cheap either. It may be easier to sell the current iMac and buy another used with Firewire. You can swap parts about. I made up my iMac 400 DV from 2 insurance write offs, 1 was extensively coffee spill damaged, the other dropped. The 400 mHz logic board with Firewire exchanged for the 350 mHz without, amongst various other swaps, including CRT. Steve Bell Or.... You can sign on to somebody like Sonnettech.com and check out their Harmoni with firewire. I didn't get to see what Imac you were talking about. I plan to get the Harmoni 600 mhz for my rev A imac near the end of summer. Thanks, Will -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
