Plus, that kind of stuff can be started right now.

*cough* SBP-2 support.
A pet peeve of mine - I have a laptop. Hard drives for laptops are
expensive and slow. Now, if there was a firewire stack for BeOS w/ SBP-2
support, I could actually -boot- from the Firewire disk (with the boot
loader on the internal disc). It'd be pretty sweet, now that 1934
controller cards and disks are becoming cheaper and cheaper (well, a
CardBus 1394 card is still ~USD$100 here in Sweden, but still...)
(No, don't look at me, I've got enough to do with my other BeOS apps)
