No reason to. IEEE1394 has a solid transmission line data path (two of
those) using 2xUTP or 2xSTP. If they manage to make chips that do not melt
at 3.2Gb it will work over the short distance it is specced for. Remember
it is peer to peer.

What I'd liek to see, is the OS platform that can exercise such a link
fully (I am snickering at the thought of that certain platform mastering
it). It's about 400Mbytes/sec, 10 times faster than high end disks
available on the market are now.
