Re: IEEE-1394 and disks

By bridge chips I mean IEEE-1394 to IDE. Also, is it possible to set spin down time for these IDE disks through 1394? i.e. if they are inactive for 1 hour, I would like them to spin down. Is this possible? Trever On Thu, 2005-01-20 at 12:53 -0700, Trever L. Adams wrote: > I have a few questions:

I have a few questions: How stable is firewire (running at 800Mbps or faster, if any is available yet)? How stable is the Linux subsystem, especially for firewire disks? Is there any particularly 800Mbps bridge chips that should be avoided or used? How stable is the subsystem when the chain is nea
