Hello all...

I have an Asus M2A-VM (non-HDMI version) that I'm building into a
complete computer system. One of the things that I'll be doing with
the completed system is some lightweight to medium duty video editing.

As such, I opted to put a Firewire card into one of the expansion
slots. And while doing that, I noticed that there are solder pads on
the board for a Firewire port and a 1394 controller.

What I'm wondering--did Asus ever make a version of the M2A-VM board
with the Firewire stuff present? I've done some searching and come up
empty, so I thought I'd ask here.

Compare your M2A-VM to the M2A-VM HDMI, and there is Firewire on the latter.

Aha! Thank you, that explains it perfectly.

I didn't see the need to buy the HDMI version of the board at the time, as I
don't have anything that can accept or use HDMI input.
