With firewire OHCI controller you have you physical RAM open. There is a brief summary here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire#Security_issues > As far as stability goes, I find the USB connections somewhat unreliable. Perhaps. In case of firewire it depends on proper design of a connected device too, but I meant stability of your machine/OS. A device connected over firewire can do anything it wants with your machine, even crash it unintentionally if there is a bug in the device (quite likely). Regards, David
