Sorry. Correction. The "Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO" site is active but has not been updated since 2007. That site contains a link to <http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/ieee1394.html> which is points to <http://www.linux1394.org/>. It's the linux1394 site that is defunct. However, the documentation at the HOWTO site appears to be somewhat out of date at best.
