Definitely yes to 1) and 2), I have a Pismo which I use on a virtually daily basis (and about to remove the last remnants of MacOS on it). However I have disabled Firewire because it would not sleep and wake up properly. I can test it on Wednesday with a 5GB fireflly disk from 2001. Please tell me which configuration options I need to set for Firewire (which stack, etc...). Regards, Gabriel
