[Gllug] OT Firewire/Fast Networking

[Ian Baillie]

Thanks for the responses from everyone...  The Firenet stuff does look
interesting, I have just downloaded the trial, and will have a look at
this during the week (I need some firewire leads).  The link for the
download is www.unibrain.com/evaluations/firenet.htm

I will let you know how it progresses.  I think we might end up going
for using files locally though, or have a number of firewire drives
which the user can plug into there machine.  Does anyone know how to
build a firewire enclosure for an IDE drive?
