Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Firewire Support for OS/2 and eComStation


From: os2infoDESPAM at gmx.net 
 
Today, netlabs.org, the OS/2 User Group Dresden and Alexandr Cherkaev
announce the beginning of a project that will create a Firewire driver for
OS/2.

The goal of this project is to write an open source OS/2 IEEE 1394, or
short Firewire, controller driver and mass storage layer. The initial
version of the driver will support PCI attached Firewire controllers build
around the VIA Technologies Inc. VT6306 chipset. A hard drive connected
via a Firewire case will be supported by the sbp2 protocol. It is our
intention to deliver a first version of the driver before July 2004!

This project would not exist without Netlabs! If you want to support the
Firewire driver please consider sponsoring Netlabs!

More information about this project can be found at the netlabs.org
project webpage: http://firewire.netlabs.org/
