I've got a couple of B&W G3 machines. I've tried every Debian kernel

You're right about USB. It works well enough for keyboard and mouse
on the B&W G3.
Should I file a bugreport? Is so, against which package?
Best might be to send a mail to the linux ieee1394 mailing list
though I
can foresee people telling you to get your self a cheap OCHI1394 PCI
card instead :-)
Ben.
Actually, I did that -- OHCI combo USB & 1394 card -- and it didn't
help. The pcilynx driver still crashed (no surprise there) and even
after I blacklisted pcilynx, the FireWire part of the combo card
wasn't recognized. Or at least that's how I remember what happened
-- it was a while ago.
Maybe I should try the whole thing again and write down the details.
Can you give me a URL for the linux ieee1394 mailing list?
Thanks!
Rick
