Um, that's not what the word on the street is.  Besides the MacFixIt 
reference I posted before, there have been reports on Macintouch, 
MacSlash, and this morning a Wired article about FW400 drives dying, 
too:

I'm certainly going to hold off putting panther on any of my desktop 
systems until this shakes out.  I'm running it on my laptop (17" PB) 
where I test new software... it's nice, but not compelling enough to 
risk losing all of my data.
