I put a new ATA 160 GB Seagate in a USMicroLab external combo
Firewire/USB case and connected it to my iBook 10.4.2 to format. Disk
Utility did not see it via firewire or USB.<<

Hook the drive up again, go into (disk utility) and format it their.
You should see the drive choose the 160 in this location (Disk
utility) it is in the (Applications) folder on your hard drive.<

As stated, tried that, no drive shows up or can be seen by Disk
Utility. Wondering if the Seagate, out of the box, was not ready to be
put in a firewire/usb case.

Is it possible that you might have a Firewire/USB case that has one of
the Oxford 922 bridge chip-sets?
If so see note from TechWeb page;
http://www.techweb.com/wire/26802561
In a special message posted on its website Apple said: "Apple has
identified an issue with external FireWire hard drives using the Oxford
922 bridge chip-set with firmware version 1.02 that can result in the
loss of data stored on the disk drive. Apple is working with Oxford
Semiconductor and affected drive manufacturers to resolve this issue,
which resides in the Oxford 922 chip-set."
