is available for download (572 KB .bin) from Apple's web site. "The FireWire 2.2.2 software includes three system extensions:

- FireWire Support. This extension adds services to the Mac OS to support the use of FireWire hardware and software.
- FireWire Enabler. This extension adds hardware-specific support for certain FireWire interfaces.
- FireWire CardBus Enabler. This extension adds hardware-specific support for the Newer FireWire 2Go CardBus interface, for use with PowerBook computers.

FireWire 2.2.2 fixes two problems for iMac DV, iMac DV Special Edition, and Power Macintosh G4 customers who are presently using FireWire 2.2:

- Exporting video from iMovie to a DV camera is more reliable with FireWire 2.2.2.
- FireWire hard disk drives will be more reliable when hot-plugged with FireWire 2.2.2."

Curiously, FireWire v2.2.2 was installed on my computers by Mac OS 9--Bill. [Version Tracker]
