Re: 200GB firewire drives and bios drive size limits

[Michael Loftis]

BIOS does not and will not have anythign to do with firewire support of any 
kind.  No BIOS supports (yet) booting off of firewire devices.  Linux 
treats them as a sCSI device so you should be fine.

Hi all,
I am trying to find information on whether large external firewire
drives are effected by the various bios limitations on older hardware.
Google is not turning up much and I would be appreciative of any pointers
to docs and articles people may know about.
Peace Jim
