Ok, here we go:

When I just attach the disk, the IEEE 1394 modules are loaded.

Doing a

mount /dev/sda1 -t hfsplus /hfs

leads to:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device.

Attaching, mounting, demounting and deattaching a 
USB stick - and then trying to mount the HDD 
again leads to a more complex result, like this:

mount /dev/sda1 -t hfsplus /hfs
sda: Unit not ready, sense:
Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current ...............
Raw sense data: .........
sda: READ CAPACITY failed
.......
.......
.......
sda: block assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
   sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
   sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 2097144
   sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 2097144
   sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
   sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
   unable to read the partition table
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device.

"....." meant more output, as a
mount /dev/sda1 -t hfsplus /hfs >& /tmp/hfsmountoutput
didnt make a reasonable file (how do I do that 
correctly?), I had to copy all from the screen 
and left out the less important looking.

I hope these are enough data - if it is required 
more detailed, please give me a hint how I can 
get the whole output of "mount" into a file".

Thanks and greetings,

Wolf
