As does USB2 (a little anyway) but HD's and CDRW's all have seemed to need
bricks anyway, they draw more than the wire carries.

Bob,

Firewire already carries power, a nice thing. I can put my iPod in its dock and
it gets charged at the same time. But unless there is a very good reason for
having an external device (the iPod is one) I want it all in the box.

  That would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath over it. :(

  Or better yet, USB3Desktop that carries the power too.  (never heard of
  USB3Desktop, but it's a good idea, the computer's power supply can handle
it
  on a desktop.)
