Firewire for Ultra60 - Linux

Hi 

There are two register set standards for USB 1.1 chips: UHCI and OHCI. Sun
and Mac only support OHCI chips. Via and Intel use UHCI, OPTI and macbe NEC
use OHCI.

So go to a store and have a look at the USB chip on the card. Or, easier,
ask for Mac USB cards - they will work for you as well


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,
John
