Has anyone done any work to support FireWire under Linux? There seems to be several PCI FireWire cards available and even devices that have a FireWire port on them. You can, for example, get a converter turn FireWire into IDE intended to be used on CDROM drives. All of the high end camcorders these days seem to have a FireWire output.
It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to treat the FireWire card as a SCSI card so CDROM support would come for free. You could use the generic SCSI driver for camcorders and scanners.
Has this been started or should I look into writing it myself?
