The CompUSA PCI 1394 Firewire Host Adapter works great with the LaCie drive, although so far I've only tried backing up files, not authoring multimedia. http://www.linux1394.org/start_req.html was totally helpful, but incomplete. After much googling and exploring /proc, I happened upon /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info. By cat'ing this file, I could determine which device to refer to with mount(8). Unfortunately for Free Software, I was only able to use the drive with cdrecord-ProDVD. For some reason, I couldn't get the dvdrecord package to work. Here's a comprehensive(?) list of the software I'm using: - custom kernel (from kernel-source-2.4.19) - libraw1394-5 0.9.0-2 - gscanbus 0.7.1-2 - scsitools 0.3-2 - cdrecord-ProDVD 1.11a35 These modules are installed from /etc/modules: ieee1394 ohci1394 raw1394 sbp2 However, raw1394 & ohci1394 are (unused), so I think that they are only used for multimedia. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "they love our milk and honey, but preach about another | | way of living" | | Merle Haggard, "The Fighting Side Of Me" | +------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
