Right now two major family emergencies has all my attention.  But, i
will state that since initially using the drive via firewire, then
"ejecting" it, NO other firewire device works on my system.  Can't
capture frmo my mini-dv, nor is a lacie drive being recognized.
Firewire shared irq 17 w/ onboard promise raid controller but never was
a problem.  Disabling the raid controller didn't help anyway.  I tried
changing HAL to standard pc for naught.  Just installed SP4 (win2k), no joy.
