I'd be happy to help you get the code merged and also help with testing etc. To begin with, can you recommend (or warn against) any particular DV hardware? I need at least one working peripheral (I have a 1394 disk device for later, right now I just want something that can show me the adapter working). Once I have the necessary hardware, I can spend a little time looking over your code and then we can get things resolved. I'm terribly sorry it's taken me so long to get to this point.
