Re: [APML] OT Firewire 1394
OK, you are probably correct. I remember having a lot of trouble with Firewire for my
DV camcorder on Win95 and Win98. Win98SE did work well with the Camcorder. I can't
find any specifics in the manual, but you are probably correct about the support,
except that I would *GUESS* that Win98SE might work, based on my camcorder experience.
