I'm contemplating going firewire for loading MP3s onto CF cards. But at this point it looks like the equipment is still pretty pricey.
1st, from this URL, it seems like a firewire CF reader can be 260% faster than PCMCIA transfers:

But I'm wondering what people have experienced transferring data on their Libbys. At one point Raymond wrote:
"There is a big difference between dumping digital videos through firewire at almost 30Mbps and only managing 5Mbps through a network card."

(Wow... Mike's got some nice new archive software: http://www.technoir.nu/cgi-bin/libretto.cgi )
Has anyone actually clocked any file transfers with their firewire cards? Is 260% above typical PCMCIA transfer realistic on a Libretto? And I wonder if a card/CF reader combo is really going to set me back more than I really care to put out.
Matt
