1. Not all computers provide power via their FireWire busses.
2. The FireBox reportedly has a design flaw (out-of-spec inrush current) such that you cannot use it with any 1394b hardware that has inrush protection (any current Macs, probably some newer FireWire cards) unless you power it initially with the external power supply.
3. When operating on battery power... well, then I guess you wouldn't be able to use the power supply. Never mind about #3....
