so it shouldn't be any different than the same scenario with two
different PCI cards in a desktop. I haven't stress-tested it
completely yet (i don't know why i haven't yet...) but I haven't had
any troubles using the FW drive as my audio drive with ardour, etc.
I see. Being on different irqs is good.
The Dell Inspiron 8600 puts nearly everything on irq 11 (*shudder*).
Yes, IBM is a bit strange with their (lack of)
inclusion of FW
on most machines.
They have it on their r-series.
But if they have two cardbus slots, you can as well put a cardbus
fw interface as you do. What kind of cardbus firewire interface
do you use by the way ? Easy to setup in Linux :) ?
