Hunh. I will try that, but when I first tried firewire, I used ohci1394 and I couldn't get anything to register. Also, lspci gives the following line for firewire: 01:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCILynx/PCILynx2 IEEE 1394 Link Layer Controller (rev 02) I've seen in a bunch of places that the b&w g3 needs he pcilynx driver... but I'll give the ohci driver a whirl.
