RE: Web-Cam for PCM-5822, USB/Linux

I have a little experience with IEEE 1394 and it does have a little support
in Linux. But, the support is very limited, and drivers are only availible
for a few very standard full size cards. I've never heard of an SBC that
offers IEEE 1394 or a PC/104 that adds it. I think firewire won't really
work.

Doesn't that imply the need for a firewire port (which
the PCM-5822 doesn't have)? Are there SBCs with firewire
ports and linux drivers for those ports? If not, are
there add-on cards that provide this? What about drivers
for the cameras, are you aware of any linux support for
IEEE 1394 cameras? I haven't seen any of the above.
