I also have the SB Augidy card (Platinum, version 1) with
a IEEE 1394 firewire port.
I also have an Iomega Peerless drive (firewire) which
plugs into the port. Originally, when I first upgraded to
XP, it seemed to work fine. However, it runs into severe
difficulty when tranferring large files... See my
extensive note above for more info. I think we have
similar problems.
