Please forgive me for lacking the time to read the "10.3.3 is Out" thread. Does 10.3.3 fix the Firewire bug that causes the pointer to behave erratically while copying to a Firewire hard drive?

Yes, it was listed in the seed notes specifically - it is fixed.

I've heard people having this problem, but I wonder what the cause was. Never happened here...

I can't test this just now but has the overall firewire problems been fixed yet? 10.3.2 and below had terrible issues with copying files to and from an external drive.

No idea dude - I bought a firewire drive for the first time on the weekend, and haven't seen any issues (apart from the choppy cursor during copies on builds before 7F43). Can you get more specific?

That's the issue I'm referring to, actually.
