The CompUSA PCI 1394 Firewire Host Adapter works great with
the LaCie drive, although so far I've only tried backing up
files, not authoring multimedia.
http://www.linux1394.org/start_req.html was totally helpful,
but incomplete. After much googling and exploring /proc,
I happened upon /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info. By cat'ing this
file, I could determine which device to refer to with mount(8).
Unfortunately for Free Software, I was only able to use the
drive with cdrecord-ProDVD. For some reason, I couldn't get
the dvdrecord package to work.
Here's a comprehensive(?) list of the software I'm using:
- custom kernel (from kernel-source-2.4.19)
- libraw1394-5 0.9.0-2
- gscanbus 0.7.1-2
- scsitools 0.3-2
- cdrecord-ProDVD 1.11a35
These modules are installed from /etc/modules:
ieee1394
ohci1394
raw1394
sbp2
However, raw1394 & ohci1394 are (unused), so I think that
they are only used for multimedia.
