I.e., you have IEEE 1394 on three machines, two of which call it FireWire because they're not from Sony and one of which calls it i.Link because it's from Sony. :-)

An external fw disk label is recognized, but then nothing deeper. I was hoping to watch what was happening. I can attach the disk to either the
Fedora 10 system or the Windows XP Vaio - problem seems the same on
both.

So are you seeing the same problem on the Fedora 10 machines and the Windows XP machine - in which case a mechanism that lets you capture IEEE 1394 traffic on Linux, or one that lets you capture it on Windows XP, would work - or are you seeing it only on the Windows machine?
