Hi All,

I've asked about firewire before and have gotten a very lukewarm
response; I guess it's not so popular around these parts.  One of my
coworkers just read about some firewire gizmo that would allow you to
install an IDE disk in this firewire box.  Once you had it set up, it was
hot swappable -- which suggests that it would be really easy to work on a
huge dataset at work, then pull the drive, lug it home and keep
going.  (He's talking about doing this with a 75GB drive, to give you a
feel for the volume of data we're working with.  It's all solar physics
stuff, lots of images.)

Is there anything in FreeBSD that would allow me to do something like
this?


Curious,

Brian
