i'm thinking of getting a sony dcr-trv20. i'd like to use it with my linux pc and my linux laptop. i've heard that sometimes sony plays dirty with standards and i'm concerned about being able to use it with linux. anybody have any experiences with this? i see from the list and other docs that there is some support for pci ieee 1394 cards, but i'm looking for a list of "known good" cards. listing the working chipsets is nice, but afaik, vendors don't usually list what chips they use. is there any known list like this? finally, from the list of "known good" pcmcia cards, i get the feeling that there are no 1394 cards for x86 laptops. is this true? if not, what do you suggest? support for the laptop would be good, but isn't really necessary (or practical probably). support for my pc would be a show stopper. thanks, pete |
