just wanted to remove some confusion, the

I reported on in the previous post was a fpritnf
_I_ added to the SYNCFUNC_BODY macro
in libraw1394/.../readwrite.c to try and track down
the errors (should have pointed that out when I
included the output).

The 20 repetitions of that are from the MAXTRIES
in gscanbus/raw1394util.c routine cooked1394_read .
The -1102 error is a timeout. But why reads to the
iSight time out on the mini-itx but not on other
boxes while other 1394 devices on the mini-itx do not,
is still a complete mystery.

As always, suggestions welcome.
