I just got the cheapest one I could find a PCI 3 port at $25. It has a Via chipset but the firewire folks say that most of the common cards will just work. I succesfuly am using a 2.5" IDE exclosure with the Oxford 911 chipset with my firewire card. I'm still experimenting with filesystems though; I want to use UFS between my work machine (FreeBSD/i386) and home machines (right now only my Macs have Firewire). I want UFS so my unix utilities can preserve ownership and permissions as I transfer files, but it my just end up being a FAT32 transfer disk. --clark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
