[opensuse] Firewire and linux?

[Mike Adolf]

I am getting ready to install suse 10.2 on my Dell xps 410.  This 
machine has a bad physical architecture. If you add a second HD, it is 
likely you won't be able to use the last of only 3 PCI slots. Also, two 
HDs cause it to hum loudly.  So,  I thought I would take my second SATA 
drive and buy a SATA to firewire enclosure.  I read the specs on several 
such enclosures and they all indicate that on windows you can connect to 
USB 2.0 of firewire, but on linux only connect to USB 2.0. Since I also 
read that firewire can be twice as fast as USB 2.0, I want to use 
firewire.  Does anyone have such a hookup?
