Aren't people still having trouble finding compatible things that work
with Firewire 800?

"eSATA does not provide electrical power to operate a drive. On a
computer, an eSATA port is far less flexible than a FireWire port,
because many more devices can connect to FireWire. For these reasons,
S3200 makes FireWire the superior choice for future external storage
products.

FireWire's peer-to-peer architecture allows products to operate with a
computer - or without one.

The S3200 specification is expected to be ratified by early February.
