You forgot one thing: best hardware, or better "worst hardware".
I recently scrapped a dual Athlon MP Mainboard after relating freezes in firewire operation to a design fault in the AMD768 southbridge.
We have hints about firewire chips on the ffado website, but that is only a small part of the story: Another mainboard (with nforce3 150 chipset) proved unusable for me due to massive interruptions in firewire communication on disk action.
Now trying my luck with a Via KT400 board and a single Athlon64, PCI card with Via 6306 firewire.
So far it _seems_ to work fine...


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
