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.

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,                       ... Peter E.
