The firewire is specially design to handle video. I have an older Sony
(850MHz. 256 RAM) with internal HDD 30GB. With the time I found the hard
drive too small so I added two external Lacie HDD (80 & 160GB) I added also
a Sony DVD +-burner. Every thing works fine without any problem even when
capturing video thru a camcorder connected to the second firewire port of
the Sony burner. I should add that I am working under win 2000 pro and NTSF
file system. Your 6 GB drive is definitively too small: one hour of AVI
video needs somewhere 15 to 20 GB of space
