firewire has lots of goodies. some not mentioned much. you can find
smaller cables that are 10M not 4.5M. You can also use fiber and go to
700M if needed. The hubs can be used as repeaters and can chain to 70M.
Look at your intended device and see if it is 4 or 6 pin before you get
a hub or cables.

It sounds like they made a big bet and lost. It just shows how hard it
is to make money with linux. The great virtue of linux is that it saves
money for users, but, by the same token, it doesn't put money into the
pockets of linux software firms. At least not on the desktop.

Well, there are USB switch boxes, sold by Belkin.

Second, before I rush out and spend $50, would the switch box be "smart",

Try -p1 instead of -p0. If that doesn't work, copy the XFS patch into
the linux-2.4.20 directory and patch from there, first with -p0 and then
