I've asked this question before, but received no response. I'll ask again to see if anything has changed. What is the current state of IEEE 1394 in FreeBSD? If there is such development, where would one look? Our company uses a dual 630GB RAID system running FreeBSD. We accept and deliver content on 80GB Maxtors in firewire enclosures. Currently, we transfer files across a switched gigabit Ethernet from various Windows compositing workstations. I'd like to be able to transfer files directly from the RAID to the firewire, from bus to bus. This would free up some net time for other things. I've found nothing that points to the availability of firewire under FreeBSD. I assume there is no support. -- David Smithson - Systems Administrator Custom Film Effects To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
