    Pismo Firewire and miniDV transfer

    I got my hands on a Sony miniDV tape viewer/tranfer station recently with a FW output. I guess the PB Pism FireWire implementation is one of the earlier ones. It seems FW400 came in different flavours with transfer speeds ranging from 98 to 393 Mbit/s. The main bottleneck is probably the HDD...

    As an upcoming project I have been planning for an updated, 3d printed version of the Appledesign Powered speakers 2. I have the enclosure specs, but it would be nice with a pdf with the drawings and measurements, if there ever was such a thing. Can only find the pdf for the taller, first version?
