Short answer is - Yes... and capable for data rates twice as fast as FireWire 400. Great for Target disk mode transfers (assuming other Mac has FW800) since noticeably speeds up such.

For instance: Can a Firewire 800 external drive be bootable? Does Target Disk Mode work with FW 800? Others?
Is FW 800 all that FW400 is but faster?

Mr. Poo, that was the best science fiction I've read all day. :-)

My Powerbook G4 1.33 will not show up in Target Disk Mode on my G5 dual2.5 tower. But works when connected via FW400.
But for most things I use FW800 when I can. Drives, card readers etc.
