FWIW, I have a belkin FW card, a 3 porter, that replaced a pcilynx from TI that didn't work, ever. Once the 1394 patches were put into the tree about 9 months ago, it has worked flawlessly, or at least well enough I can import from a Sony tvr-460 handicam in real time with zero hiccups. That card signs on as(from lspci): 01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) So its yet another TI based card, but here, its working very good. But its not the latest 800mhz version either. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
