I have never tried any of this, but I have Gentoo Linux running on an Apple G3 Powerbook. While compiling the 2.4.22-ben2 kernel I noticed the option: (M) IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support (EXPERIMENTAL --> (M) IEC61833-1 Plug support (M) IEC61883-6 (Audio transmission) support Looks like someone's working on it. You can probably find more information on the web by searching for those IEC strings. FWIW - my firewire hard disk works with this kernel. -lee On Sat, 6 Dec 2003, Robert Jonsson wrote: > Hi, > > I recently read about the new MotU 828mkII (Firewire 8in/8out interface).
