I think if you get a drive in a case with the Oxford 911 IDE-to-firewire bridge chipset, you should be okay as far as compatibility goes. Though I always thought it was the chipset on your firewire card that was more important ...
I think my only issue with the Oxford 911 is that it doesn't (or didn't) support drives larger than 128 GB, but since you're asking about pocket drives (in the laptop class), this won't be an issue for you. At least, not yet ... ;-) cheers vinai On Thu, 1 May 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Has anybody experience with the new LaCie DataBank FireWire Harddisk?
