I haven't had a chance to do up a known good list yet. Oxford 911 disk
chipsets work. Some maxtor's are known to work. Typically USB/Firewire
combo drives do *not* work.
PPA makes a firewire-only disk enclosure which we've been using with
success. There's another brand whose name escapes me at the moment, I'll
look it up tomorrow.</I></FONT></PRE>

Thanks. This will help greatly to see at least a couple of brand options that are know to work. Justifying a test setup, even for just a few hundred dollars, is easier when the hardware is know to work :)<BR>

The firewire cards also matter. Ironically, the PPA branded pcmcia cards
do not work. Most PCI addon cards work, though there was one someone had
that gave a strange error. I don't have brand info on these. For laptops,
cards made by SIIG and Orange Micro are known to work.</I></FONT></PRE>
