IEEE 1394 Interface testing

interesting ... I never had any problems with external drive over 
firewire with Linux (while I had some problems using USB, the 
same HDD enclosure, PATA to both USB2 or FireWire)

on the other hand I got some troubles getting dvgrab working with 
kernel 2.6.32, but that is completely different story ... well, 
still a lot nicer story than connecting another HDD-based 
videocamera over USB to Windows machine (no chance with Linux ... 
don't buy Sony, if they haven't changed their proprietary 
protocol to standard mass storage since) - oh, a bit offtopic, 
sorry

K.
