Keyspan USB2 + Firewire Card (PCI)

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

Try reading /var/log/messages and see if you see it detecting the hard 
drive and giving it a device like /dev/sd??  If so make a mount point 
directory like /mnt/firewire and try mount /dev/sd?? /mnt/firewire and 
see if that will work.  If it is being detected at all it will show up 
in the boot messages.  I am not sure how firewire drives work.  I know 
for USB drives you have to load usb-mass storage module.  Maybe there 
is something similar for firewire.
Good luck and sorry I didn't write back sooner.
