The latest MacBook Pro DOES have firewire (FW800). The MacBook does not have firewire. You can use a FW 800 to 400 cable for FW400 devices. But, do what I did, I bought the previous generation MBP with a 2.4 ghz processor and a 200gig drive new for $1400. It runs windows XP just great. Look around, I bet you can still find one.
