Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In the near future I will be doing some research and development with IEEE 1394. Such that I will be requiring a _large_ number of firewire devices. It is not within my budget to purchase 63 x 4 cameras. So I was trying to think of the cheapest possible IEEE 1394 device - if worst comes to worse I could just buy 252 of those ... again, not very practicle. IEEE 1394 chipsets, however, are about $8.00 each. Has anyone seen IEEE 1394 "slugs" - devices that perform basic functionality (in terms of participating on the bus) but not much else ? (presumably, if these devices exist, they were developed for just this type of development) Comments and information appreciated. ----- John Kozubik - john@kozubik.com - http://www.kozubik.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
