Hmm... I had problems with FW410's older drivers, but using the latest drivers everything works fine since months. I'm using an iBook G3/700 as well as a LaCie Pocket Drive plugged into the FW410; hot-plugging. But thanks for the warning.

Regarding computer connection over FireWire, it doesn't end with the Target Disk Mode: A new feature of Panther was (is) TCP Over FireWire, i.e. *networking* over FW. It works. (However I don't use it because my router doesn't have a FW bus...) FW in its concept *is* intended for flexible use.

Dying FW Ports in general are nothing new, it's a long known problem with G4 PowerMacs. The ports on my G4/466 died one month after my 3 year AppleCare warranty expired... angry.gif
The easiest fix is a FW PCI card, the drawback is the lack of the "deep sleep" mode thereafter, obviously it's not compatible with this kind of cards.
