Please check media100.com for details. Media100i and HD systems work great for me and the projects I do. You should find the system that suits your needs.

Like the name implies (Media100SW), it has no board set, but will have firewire input/output on its release I am informed. The Media100HD has a board set but needs a G5 dual 2.5 or 2.7 and has no firwire.
