Hi, I finally got my two firewire cards so I can start playing with them with Linux. I want to connect my two Linux machines together via the firewire bus but I'm not sure which cable I need. I guess a standard cable wont work? Do I need to buy a firewire hub? I cant wait to start working on some SPB-2 implemantation... Thanks, Jurgen |

Is it really that simple? I could image the firewire bus is just like a SCSI bus only serial. I really have to find some more info on how it old works. Any links?
