Yeah, I wish the MorphOS team and MorphOS developers would stop focusing on dead-end hardware.  Firewire was never a big deal and it fell into even greater obscurity after USB2.0  became widespread.  MorphOS would be better served by having better driver support for video cards and USB2.0.  Or even better, port the OS to an architecture that isn't a dead-end.


Sorry, but Firewire is a professional standard used on prosumer and professional level video cameras, such as MiniDV and HDV cameras.

It's also used for pro-level musical recording hardware - i.e. audio interfaces, control interfaces, etc. in both home and high end professional studios.

It's USB that's seen as a lower end interface.  Useful, yes and common, but not as capable as firewire.
