Vista firewire problems

What Epson reference are you referring to? Is there some URL?

Again, I use firewire with Vista very often with my machine, so I'm confused
by any indication that there's a problem on the Microsoft side here.

There are some firewire updates in SP1, and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927827
may be helpful if you have a buggy firewire device. Other than that - any
vendor claiming this to be some Microsoft issue would probably either want
to identify the specific issue or work with Microsoft to identify it.

This isn't rocket science - but it *is* science. If there's a hardware or
driver or Microsoft problem here, following up with the appropriate vendor
(starting with the firewire port vendor) should be able to drive the
solution to fix/conclusion. Be specific about the problem you're facing.
Given your descriptions so far, I'm wondering if the 927827 advice is
relevant to your situation.
