I think I could send you one; I have no firewire products and I have no 
clue where I got it, but I think I have one of those, new.

But I don't know where you at (how far from the Netherlands).

I dunno.

That's something that has become harder with systemd-journald so it's 
just an unfortunate fact of life these days that checking the logs is 
not the first thing you do...

You would need a desktop-based log-shower for that.

Again, no human fault... software at fault....
