Anything with an ohci chipset should work.  The driver development is
hosted on sourceforge, see linux1394.sourceforge.net.  If you decide
to try it out, I recommend you get the latest cvs snapshot of the
drivers as described here: http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/cvs.html.

As for production use: the entire 1394 subsystem is marked as
experimental so dont expect to break uptime records while playing
with 1394 :-)
