Firewire on B+W G3 Rev1

[Henry A. Leinhos]

Thanks, 

I was afraid of that (I had another  problem with a WD 120G HD and the ATA 
inteface on the B+W G3 Motherboard, so I had to install an ATA PCI card, now 
this!).  I wonder, what is the state of 800Mbps firewire card support for 
PPC?  Am I better off paying $60 for a Firewire2 card (with legacy ports), 
or just $20 for a regular OHCI card?
