While we're on this topic has anyone used a Firewire DVD burner
yet and to what success?  (This would be for 4.8)

Also any recommended Firewire cards or cards to avoid?

The hardware notes for 4.8 mention chip sets that are supported
but it's not always listed on the specs for the cards :-)

Thanks,
Marc
