The Firewire enclosure was for a CDRW I bought when Firewire was first becoming popular. The CDRW went bad shortly after the warranty expired so I salvaged the box for future use.
I once tried this also, and learned the hard way that all IDE-Firewire bridges are not equal. Many Firewire bridges designed for optical drives won't work correctly with magnetic hard drives. Sometimes you can flash the firmware to fix this, but early ones were "either" but not "both", so if you successfully converted, you'd have to flash again if you needed to use a CD, CDR or DVD unit.
