(Is there any external? if yes, is it good?) Hi Gustavo, See my earlier message in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg06925.html and see: http://www.linux1394.org/hcl.php?class_id=1 for a list of chipsets. Card manufacturers (at least some, such as Syba) will tell you which chipset they are using so that you have a fairly certain way of determining whether they will work with Linux or not.
