[X-HW] recommendations for firewire enclosures

[James S Jones]

As I understand it, the preference/control panel looks for bootable 
partitions and then determines if they are in a bootable environment.

I got a FW/USB 2.0 combo card so I would have a PCI slot left. (I have 
ATI 7000 and a SCSI card in addition.) USB 1.1 devices seem noticeably 
faster on the USB 2.0 bus, btw. Specifically, iSync to my USB Palm and 
USB Bluetooth to Sony Ericsson phone is probably twice as fast.
