[Ti] Firewire 400 vs 800

[John Griffin]

To add a bit to this rather abbreviated reply, just make sure that  
the drive’s firmware is up to date. Some early FW800 drives had some  
issues with Mac OS X because of the Oxford chipset. Later firmware  
patches were issued that corrected the problem. These problems  
surfaced with Panther, but I have not heard of any issues with Tiger.  
But just to be on the safe side, visit the manufacturer’s web site  
where the most recent firmware update should be posted for download.
