It only mostly works in Linux.
So, this is one of the very few arenas where Win is better
Too few firewire users out there, so the drivers tend to not get as much testing as USB, IDE, SCSI, etc.
I am sad to hear that Firewire is given such low priority vs. USB, et. al.

Modern macs feature USB2. You need to get a quietly distributed thing from Apple to enable the EHCI functionality. It just happens that they work fine as USB1.1 since part of the EHCI spec is OHCI compatibility.

With my limited experience using USB 2.0 ( mostly frustration), I do not expect it to compete with Firewire for high performance. The most favorable experience I heard was from someone who works for Xerox, says that the USB 2.0 print driver works, is faster than 1.1
