Howdy list, I've determined that the 4 pin firewire port on my IBM A30p, while being detected by the kernel, seems to be incapable of detecting a bus powered 6 pin external SBP hdd. I even tried putting a self powered firewire hub between the hdd and my 4 pin port with no change in behavior (i.e. the hdd wasn't detected). However, I *have* tried the drive with multiple 6 pin firewire controllers (Mac Powerbook and PCI Firewire VIA controller under FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2), so I think the best solution is to buy a 6 pin firewire cardbus card for my laptop. Does anyone have one that they recommend for use with 5.2.1? I know that `man fwohci` lists workable chipsets, but I find it difficult to find cardbus cards that list the chipset.
