I know it sounds like the answer should be obvious, but it is not to me... so here goes: do laptop drives also have master/slave jumpers?
A year or so ago, I bought an external USB/Firewire box from OWC to house a laptop drive, from a machine we upgraded. I was never able to get it to be recognized via Firewire. It works flawlessly via USB. I have tried with with a number of systems running various Mac OSs, and none of them see it vial FW. It does have the Oxford 911 chipset. Plugging an AC adapter in to the drive does not help either.
Yes, laptop drives do have m/s jumpers. I suspect it's universal that a drive without a jumper is master.
What does System Profiler show under Firewire when you have the drive plugged in via FW?
