The "drive" is a Compact Flash card. There are two CF cards here which work in CF-PATA adapters in other machines. The CF cards are good. (CF-Firewire adapter) = (enclosure). It is everything in the photo except for the CF card; and only the edge of the CF is visible. The CF-Firewire adapter plugs into a socket on a Firewire-PCI adapter. I should have put a ruler in the photo for scale. This computer has wheezy by the way. > I assume the same enclosure/drive works fine on other > systems ideally connected through Firewire? The same failure happens when the (CF-Firewire + CF card) is connected to the Firewire socket on another machine running squeeze. I've never seen this adapter work. It was given to me by someone who probably used it under MS Windows. > Have you been able to try out other Firewire devices with this adapter? A Fire-i camera works nicely for Coriander on both machines. No evidence of any problem with a Firewire socket on either machine. > If so, I assume they too can't be used? The CF-Firewire adapter and the Fire-i camera are the only 1394 devices I have. The camera works everywhere. The adapter works nowhere. To my reasoning the problem is in the CF-Firewire adapter in the photo. Too bad nobody else has mentioned successful operation of something with a LSI SYM13FW501 chip. Any further discussion is welcome, thanks, ...
