[Nottingham] Firewire Support

[Darren Fuller]

Thanks to everyone for getting back on this so quickly, didn't reply 
sooner as I've been enjoying the wonders of Scotland for the past week 
although it is a good excuse to get a card now so I can download some 
clips of the camcorder.  As soon as I get a card I'll let you all now 
how it went.

Slightly related topic, is it worth putting up on the new website a 
secion where people can enter the hardware that they have successfully 
used with Linux and any tweaks they used?  Just a thought.

Cheers

Daz
