Firewire support has been pretty good, at least for accessing mass
storage devices. I haven't beaten on IP-over-Firewire or some of the
other capabilities that one might also experiment with....

I was seeing about 35 MB/s read and about 20 MB/s using a Maxtor 5000DN
external drive via Firewire; this drive also supports USB 2, but at the
time I was testing OHCI USB was all that was available to me, not EHCI.
(USB 1 was giving ~1.2 MB/s...)
