I bought this camera, and attached it to the firewire port on my SoundBlaster Audigy. I was half expecting it not to work.
But, a simple "modprobe ohci1394 ieee1394" and I was good to go, after chmoding '666' /dev/raw1394. The dv1394 driver doesn't appear to work, but raw1394 works just fine for capturing to kino. Camera control works mostly fine, but seems a little flaky at times (ie long delays between pressing the control on kino, and the camera actually responding).
No usb port on the zr80, so I'm not sure how to get stills to my box just yet, but honestly I haven't looked yet so....
Works well enough for my purposes I guess :)
