I.e., you have IEEE 1394 on three machines, two of which call it
FireWire because they're not from Sony and one of which calls it
i.Link because it's from Sony. :-)
I forgot that we have a couple of Apple Macs with firewire too.
An external fw disk label is recognized, but then nothing deeper. I

hoping to watch what was happening. I can attach the disk to either
the
Fedora 10 system or the Windows XP Vaio - problem seems the same on
both.
So are you seeing the same problem on the Fedora 10 machines and the
Windows XP machine - in which case a mechanism that lets you capture
IEEE 1394 traffic on Linux, or one that lets you capture it on Windows
XP, would work - or are you seeing it only on the Windows machine?
Seems like both Linux and Windows have the problem. Actually, I think
the problem is with the external disk, but it just showed up
yesterday and I haven't spent much time on it. Computer sees only
disk name, but no contents.
