This one looks like it has the header pins directly behind the internal connector. One of the reviews even indicates connecting an Antec case front firewire to the internal connectors.

The last motherboard Firewire header I saw had 7 pins. There can be extra grounds that are not needed. USB headers are usually 9 pins.
