If memory serves, Fisher's Discriminant analysis produces the same results as lda for two groups although the assumption and derivations are different. Google search produces http://www.statsoftinc.com/textbook/stdiscan.html
In the middle of page 347 of MASS 3 (sorry no latest copy here), it mentions how LDA is related to Fishers. I believe Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks (1996) talks more about the equivalence of these two with two groups.
