The original text of the "Disk Mounter Manual", Section 1.2 is as follows: " Some systems may also automatically mount some removable media (such as USB and IEEE1394 disks), these devices may also come up in the Disk Mounter so that you can unmount them when you are finished, and provide a visual indication that they are present."
IEEE1394 is the standard name for this interface. "Firewire" is the Apple brand name, just like i.Link is the Sony brand name. In my experience (United States), FireWire is the most commonly used term. However, IEEE1394 is the most correct term. If any change is made, it should refer to IEEE1394, FireWire, and i.Link. But this should only be changed if there is value in being able to find this section by a keyword search of the new terms. Otherwise, the page is fine as it is. Note: I just searched the help system on my Ubuntu Feisty system for these terms and received the following result counts: "firewire" 3 "ieee1394" 1 "ieee-1394" 1 ilink, i-link, and i.link all returned 0. Perhaps there would be value in using consistent terminology throughout the documentation.
