Didn't I say I was using it with Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0? Last I looked that qualifies as Linux :-). Under Mandrake 9.0, the appropriate ieee1394 modules are loaded automatically including spb2 which is needed for the automatic device selection. In fact, the mdk9.9 installation routines found the FireWire disk before it found the SCSI hard drive, assigning it as /dev/sda which wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I turned the drive off during installation, then after everything was installed and booted normally, I turned the drive back on, and mounted it. I haven't tried rebooting the system with the external drive on. >Joel >> > When was the last time you looked at FireWire pricing?
