Greetings;
I bought, 3 or so years back, a 1394 controller, thinking
that maybe it had a chance to become a standard, like USB
is now.
lspci -vv reports this:
00:0b.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments FireWire Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])

Is there any chance that this card can actually be used with modern devices?
Or should I bin it and save the couple of watts its burning?

There should probably be a mail list for 1394 (and USB for that matter)
as this is the kernel mail list.
I will respond to your query though.
If the information is correct and the card is OHCI (not the same as USB
OHCI), then it should work just fine. OHCI is a standard interface to
the 1394 link chip. If you plug that card into a Mac or Windose box, it
would be recognized as such and the drivers loaded. The same holds true
for Linux.
