Few people even have such hardware (my laptop has no firewire connector at all). Some of my test machines have it but I have no firewire HDD. Even fewer of these people have required skills (it requires someone who had a similar experience like Ale=C5=A1 or me). And even less have motivation. Additionally since = most of external HDDs supporting firewire also support USB, it seems pretty pointless. So it will probably never happen. Of course, you can back up your feature request with work (a patch, make sure you don't include any license-incompatible code, consult before including any third-party code) or money (by sponsoring hardware and putting a bounty). > Robert > > > PS: USB UHCI modules do already exist, but they seem to not work > properly (v1.98) That's old.
