Two interesting bits of news from the Haiku front. First, Haiku now has basic support for FireWire, thanks to GSOC student JiSheng Zhang. You cannot connect a FireWire hard drive just yet, though. Second, Russian BeOS hacker Troeglazov Gerasim has ported Samba 3.10 to Haiku, so you can now browse your Windows shares in Haiku, as well as share files through Samba in Haiku. IsComputerOn has the details, as well as some screenshots.

I disagree, an external FW/USB2 combo external drive is still way more useful than vanilla USB drive and the FW connection is noticeably faster than USB2. Since BeOS never had any real support for USB2, getting FW for drives would be excellent. I find USB to be pretty tacky anyway.
Nice thing with combo drives is that you can reuse the casing and bridge with bigger drives so you can keep the better interface. It's a shame that FW interfaces on drives are usually priced to make buying them a harder choice though.
