Just as with USB mass storage devices, there is a class specification for
firewire mass storage devices (SBP, I think is what they call it in the linux
kernel).  This ASIC has a high probability of implementing this standard, as
it means they don't need to provide any drivers.  It should 'just work' with any
modern OS with a firewire port.  Perhaps you could check the ASIC documentation
to see if it does in fact implement the standard class devices.  It
probably does.
It will probably 'just work'.  :)

Probably.
