Andrew, I am sorry I have lost private mail from you (I just found it in my Mbox), and I am admitted your comments in hackers by other people. I have once proposed my firewire code to merrge -current. And a lot of problems are pointed out. Almost problems will be resolved by code clarification work and it is not difficult. The most important issue pointed out is, the firewire code have to accords "newbus" archtecture and we have to define the firewire specific part. I have not updated the latest code published in ftp site I announced, because I have not a enough time right now to maintain it, and I am investigating bus architecture. If you would like to update my code, I am welcome to new cooperator. If you thought to write another implementation, I am OK. Thanks, "Andrew R.
