I am looking at a firewire-to-ide bridge board at FireWire Depot;

<http://fwdepot.com/thestore/product_info.php/products_id/1643>

In the description, it states that it "Support Win98SE, ME, 2K, XP, Linux,
FreeBSDS and MAC OS 8.6 or higher." No mention of Vista. I wrote customer
support asking about Vista x64 support and received the following cryptic
(at least to me) message in return: 

"only microsoft writes driver for vista so you would need to check to see if
microsoft is publishing a vista firewire driver for oxford 911+ chip set"

I find it strange that the manufacturer would not already know this
information. I am running two external cases with the oxforde 911 and 911+
chipset and it works. I just want to bring the drives (two IDE dvd drives)
into a case. Anyone see a problem I am missing? I am just a bit put off by
the lack of a definitive answer from the manufacturer on this subject.

Thanks for you input.
