Windows XP Service Pack 2 breaks the support for Firewire mass storage media. that means all hard drives and related media like card readers. luckily, all of my external backup drives are dual USB 2.0/Firewire 400 drives, so i used the USB interface. that runs at about half the speed of Firewire because the USB hardware protocol has much more overhead. the hotfix for the problem doesn't work on my system. no update for the hotfix has been announced yet.

LaCie and others now off a Firewire 800 card that really allows the data to
move along at a somewhat brisker clip ;-))
