The Apple Panther upgrade 10.3.1 is now available in the "software update" utility. This little update (only 1.3 Mb) corrects some bugs in the first Panther release : applications stability, FileVault, printing and FireWire 800.
Regarding problems with external FireWire (oxford 922), Apple advices to update your FireWire firmware for these drives.
