SCEA recently published openings for key positions to work directly on the PS3, including a mention of possible Firewire inclusion on the system.
The job postings are for software engineers to work directly on software, audio, and tools. All are based in California and require many programming skills, including the understanding of Apple’s OS9 and OSX (specifically for Firewire and Midi drivers). Sony could possibly be planning the inclusion of a Firewire on the PS3 which would aid in fast data transfer.
Not surprising, the jobs also require a knowledge of C++ and distributed computing programming. And of course a strong understanding of PS2 programming. Below is the listing of job openings as well as a graphic which details one of the openings.
