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?
