1394b Compatibility with Windows XP SP2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I recall quite a bit of discussion about this when SP2 came out but
haven't heard much since then. Have you tried reinstalling your chipset
(motherboard) drivers again (or whatever controls your FireWire port)?
I have not heard any update on the situation, but I do remember
complaints just before and just after the release of SP2 to the public.

Firewire A or B? It is the 1394b that was having the problems just
before the release of SP2. Not sure if it was truly fixed or not.
