Junk Firewire Products

Don't know if this article is true, but I suspect it is. Hot plugging Firewire devices is specified to be safe (no damage to hardware when connecting or not connecting), but in fact some implementations do not have the necessary protection and if you don't power down your equipment before connecting or disconnecting Firewire cables, then you may get chip failures.

In other words, some (most?) Firewire implementations are junk.
