I don't know about the pcmcia device, but the other two work ok,
assuming the kernel was built with the relevant support.

You should be loading ieee1394, ohci1394, raw1394 and sbp2.  The
recommendation I've seen here is to include a sleep:

    modprobe ieee1394
    modprobe ohci1394
    sleep 2
    modprobe raw1394
    modprobe sbp2

You may need to disconnect and reconnect the drive if it wasn't on
when you booted.

Should work fine.  I can get at disks in a usb zip drive via /dev/sda.
I compiled a kernel with usb mass-storage support inline.
