4pin firewire

[Ken S. <ke...@tu...>]

Is there support for the 4 pin 1394 port on the Sony PCG 505TX?  If
there is not, what are the reasons?  Is it because of a proprietary
chipset?  Nobody working on it?  Other?

Also, I have read that 1394 storage devices are not supported.  What
must be done to support them?

The reason I ask is because I would like to join the effort and these
are the two areas I am most interested in.
