I forget the details, but either under USB or FireWire it would lockup or corrupt transfers.

Sure, I'd be happy to ship it to the developer you think could make the most use of this thing. I'll have to dig out the specs when I get home. Maybe look back in the archives, because I know I wrote about this before, probably back in 2005 sometime. John
