Steve,
How old is your Orange Micro Card?
Early Orange Micro cards had real problems with the Firewire. I have one I bought in
April 2000. I can run a CD burner off it but not a FW HD. In mid 2001, Orange Micro
made a design change that eliminated those problems.
Evidently the card wouldn't physically harm the drive, but it is possible for it to
cause data loss and/or corruption, which is what it did to my new FW HD.
