First, my apologies on a boo-boo. The partition that's invisible is not the Leopard one--that shows. Ironically, it's the Panther one.
As for the enclosure, it's one of those gray LaCie standup models with the blue headlight. It looks like the modern ones, but it was sold several years ago as a 120 or 180 GB and has my replacement 320 popped into it. It did work fine for a considerable while, though. Sorry I don't have a model number to give you, but I had to tear off the only ID in order to access the upper of the case screws.
