I'ld use an external hard disk on a server of mine, and since USB 2.0 support is not available in FBSD 4.x, I'ld try with firewire. (I can't install 5.4-R on it) Any suggestion or hint ? Are there some recommended FW chipsets or something to avoid ? (I was thinking about Lacie's FW 400 PCI card) I'm interested in external HD's support, any other FW use is not in my needs right now (DV, ethernet, etc.) As said, *any* hint is more than welcome ! :-) Many thanks in advance! -- bye!
