As far as FireWire on the 2400c is concerned, I can testify the RATOC 
FireWire card works great on a cardbus-enabled 2400c, be it G3 
upgraded or the stock 603e@180Mz. I just copied the 2.5 FireWire 
Apple software from another machine. As for HD support drivers, I've 
used both Radiologic and Intech and they work well.

Having said that, you should be fine provided you install just the 
Apple FireWire extensions (FireWire Enabler, FireWire Support, and 
FireWire PC card support) and the necessary drivers to support a hard 
drive, CD burner or whatever. I think FireWire 2 Go Enabler is 
redundant with the Apple software. I don't own a Newer card, but it 
should work according to people on the list. As for LaCie's FireWire 
drivers, I've no idea how they work, but you should be on the safe 
side if you use the latest version.
