I tried to just _use_ a firewire drive and had tons of problems. The
whole thing would lock up tight (couldn't even ssh in) whenever I tried
to copy or move or delete files from the firewire drives.
That was about 6 weeks ago, so maybe some improvement has been made with
firewire support since then. But last time I tried (on a Spring 2001
iMac with 2 Maxtor 160G external FW drives) I had nothing but problems.
