You are describing a situation that was true -- or at least, was widely
rumoured to be true -- in the past. There were even a couple of companies
that produced 1394a drivers for XP. However, XP now supports the full
throughput of IEEE 1994a (400 Mbps) and 1394b (800 Mbps).

I remember going with my Dad to the local drugstore which had a vacuum tube
testing machine. That was in the days before transistors.
