Have you had a chance to try it out > yet? Does it seem to work well? My laptop (Sony VAIO Z505VR/K) can drive DVD-RAM drive and HDD unit via FireWire. Off cource I can play DVD Video with it too. Hot plugging with my laptop had been not working , but simokawa san fixed it (take more long DELAY) with just my laptop yesterday :) I think this fix will be commited to CVS repo. soon. | fwohci0@pci0:8:0: class=0x0c0010 card=0x8080104d chip=0x8039104d rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 | vendor = 'Sony Corporation' | device = 'CXD3222 OHCI i.LINK (IEEE 1394) PCI Host Ctrlr' | class = serial bus | subclass = FireWire Yes, it works very well. You only have to kldload modules (firewire and sbp).
