Is anyone collecting examples of external firewire hdd's that work?
Particularly any that double as mp3 players?  I see a few here and there
but I'm worried they won't connect - I tried one that a friend owned a few
months ago but while it was recognized I couldn't get it to mount.  I
suppose it might also matter what firewire controller one's got.
