I've seen it once. When I worked at Microsoft, someone noticed the plug on his Gameboy's external light looked a lot like firewire, so he plugged it into the firewire port on his B&W G3. Kaboom.

Not really a legit claim.
 
Its a non-firewire deice forced into the slot by a person with no common sense.
