There is no master nor slave in Firewire, all are peers, and all have

the difference between a hardware standard driven by Apple (Firewire)
and one from Intel/Microsoft (USB).

Thanks, both run FreeBSD and I was thinking of trying fwe. I just don't
know enough to feel certain I wouldn't short circuit and fry both
devices if I connected them with a standard cable.
Cheers, Erik
