Perhaps. In case of firewire it depends on proper design of a connected

For me it just works (external USB2 hard disk).
Kind regards,

Pretty much anything is possible with physical access and some time.

It appears that could be turned

With firewire OHCI controller you have you physical RAM open. Th
