How do I check the firmware?
Look in System Profiler>PCI Cards and highlight the "SeriTek/1V4"
card entry and look underneath at what is says for "ROM Revision".
Also how is it updated if need be?
<http://www.firmtek.com/download/>
My card has 5.3.1.1 which I believe is the version you should
also have. Here's a download link:

Thanks Kris, I have "5.1.3 1V" Next catch 22 problem may be is
that Firm Tek says that if I have Leopard that I need the firmware
but leave it alone if I've got Tiger, Well you know
what I've got to say next. I have both Tiger and leopard on this
machine. At the moment I'm transferring a large file via FireWire
the the WD drive I guess after it's done I'll try to restart with
the drive plugged in and on to see if it mounts.
I wonder what may be wrong here i have an extenal drive WD 1TB
drive and I have a Firm Tek card in a G4 MDD Dual 1.25 and a card
in a PM G5 Dual 2.7 I can't get the drive to mount on either
machine. It mounts fine with the USB and FW 800 ports. Firmware
doesn't seem to be an issue. Is there a possiblity of a bad drive?
I have no other drives to test with. I have 2 Hitachi 2TB internals
in the G5 2.7 on the card
and they work properly. Is there a test of some sort for this? I
tried to start with the drive on and still it doesn't show. Non of
my utilities see the drive either.
Sounds like either a bad Sata controller (or trace on the internal
card) in the drive or bad sata cable.
