I read the above post re fitting USB cards to Ultra60s.
I've tried an ex-PC firewire PCI card which seems to be recognised at
boot and the 1394-OHCI driver loaded etc. but no joy at actually seeing
devices on the card!
I'm now wondering whether trying an ex-Mac firewire card is the next
step or whether I'm just being daft and failing to mount the drive
correctly? Is the above post relevant to Firewire as well as USB?
Has anyone any experience of this? Preferably under linux rather than
solaris?
thanks,
