How stable is the Linux subsystem, especially for firewire disks? Is there any particularly 800Mbps bridge chips that should be avoided or used? How stable is the subsystem when the chain is nearly full (62 devices is full right?) How many controllers may be in the system before the Firewire subsystem gets confused?
