I suspect that most of these alleged Direct-Access FireWire bridges are 
actually more or less Direct-Access-RBC bridges. I have two bridges that 
report to be of the Direct-Access type; the Initio based one (although 
1394b/S800, not 1394a like yours) and an older based on TI StorageLynx. 
Both feature different firmware quirks.
