Sounds very good Max.
Did you make extensive tests and can we be sure that this time FW will work as expected?

FW will work as expected, with the understanding that there are still some issues on the Mac to be addressed. For more info, you can download the X-Firewire manual from the website. In there we have all of the information you will need to understand what the limitations are and how to troubleshoot some of the ongoing issues.

As those issues go, understand that we are working very hard with all of the other parties to help them get this stuff sorted out as fast as possible.
