I just like to know what's the status of Firefire is. My Dad gave me such a external HDD-Case (Maxtor External Storage) wich provide just Firefire (like most things found in sound-studios..).
So I like to know if somebody is working on Support because then I would keep it and get a HDD and set up a BackUp-Solution because my 60GB Streamer is broken. It's importent for me to be able to take my BackUP-Data away and place it somewhere else (security reasons). If it's not planed to enable FW-Support (sorry for my english but I guess you know what I mean) soon (~3/4yr or so) I would be happy if somebody would be able to about a cheap streamer. I had a OnStream ADR2 with 60GB capacity. Maybe I should use a HDD for the backups because they're much cheaper but I don#t realy trust IDE-HDDs and if I would use a HDD it would run also 24/7 and I guess it will break before my SCSI-HDD fails. I organized the BackUP for my 3 Computers, the Internetserver and the notebook via NFS+Streamer for now so I would realy happy for some advice or other solutions. The Internetserver (stored at a computercenter) has 2 HDDs and mirrors /home but I backuped the data by hand before my streamer faild (after that I enabled RAID at the server to be prepared for the worst case). I've ~200 GB DATA but just some GBs are "realy" needed and importent. Kind regards, Sebastian
