WTB: Firewire Driver for External Hard Drive

[Jim Scott]

Well, here goes another learning curve. I bought an external Yamaha firewire 
case that originally held a CD/RW from a fellow swapper. I found that it 
works just fine with my G3 700 iBook running 10.3.5 when I  put a Memorex 
52x32x52x CD/RW burner in it.

However, when I put a hard drive in the firewire case, it will not show up 
on the desktop, no matter what I do. I've tried hard drives formatted for 
OSX, HFS+. I've changed around from master to slave to cable select. I've 
tried various manufacturers' drives -- Maxtor, Western Digital, Fujitsu, 
etc. I've tried booting into OS 9.1, 9.2.2 and 10.3.5. All Apple updates 
have been downloaded and installed. Nada, zip, zilch, nothing -- no firewire 
drive shows up.

I'm of the opinion that what's missing is an extension/driver for the 
firewire bridge (the circuit board) inside the case. So, does anyone have 
one to sell me for a Yamaha Model No. CRW8824IX, made in Sept. 2000? Or can 
you point me to a generic driver that worked for you? Help!

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Jim
