Tee hee.  The firewire port on a Sun is virtually useless with the OS 
that the machine was intended for, but much much more useful if you 
reload with Aurora Linux.  I don't think Firewire has been thoroughly 
tested yet on Aurora but theoretically I suppose any Firewire device 
that works under Red Hat should work under Aurora.
