Hi,
I am thinking of adding a FireWire 800 PCI (or preferably PCI-X) card to
my Sun V240 running Solaris 10.  Has anyone done this, and which cards work
well?  Here's 3 I've found that might work:

Belkin F5U623-APL:

Has a T.I.
chipset.  Historically, T.I. USB chips were very Solaris-compatible, so maybe
their FireWire chips are equally plug-and-play.


Unknown chipsets models:
Syba SD-FWB-64B:

LaCie

Less-desirable 32-bit models:

Thanks for any pointers!
