A year or so ago, I bought an external USB/Firewire box from OWC to house a laptop drive, from a machine we upgraded. I was never able to get it to be recognized via Firewire. It works flawlessly via USB. I have tried with with a number of systems running various Mac OSs, and none of them see it vial FW. It does have the Oxford 911 chipset. Plugging an AC adapter in to the drive does not help either.

Yes, laptop drives do have m/s jumpers. I suspect it's universal that a drive without a jumper is master.
What does System Profiler show under Firewire when you have the drive plugged in via FW?
Clark,
If I typed a little better, my question would have made more sense the first time. None of our machines see it via FireWire. It never mounts on the desktop. It usually causes the machine to go into an endless spinning looking for the drive, which requires a force restart, and a quick removal of the firewire device. I have tried five different computers, running variations of OS 9 and X.
Maybe I will take the drive out of the case sometime and see if I can find jumper settings for it. I don't remember the brand name.
