[OT] Anyone using LaCie External IEEE1394 DVD-RW drive?

[Ron Johnson <ron.l.johnson@cox.net>]

If so, which host adapter are you using with it?

Also, which userland software?  

>From the i'net, I see that these packages must be installed.
  gscanbus
  libavc1394-0
  libraw1394-5 (but is this needed since I use 2.4.18?)
Am I missing anything?  What about murasaki or hotplug?

TIA,
Ron
