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.
