Thanks Kris! OK, I plugged the external drive into the G5, it's the only FW device plugged in, and in the System Profiler under FireWire, there are two "FireWire Buses" listed one above the other in the top window.
When I click on the upper "FireWire Bus," it says in the lower window: "Maximum speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec.", and that's all. The lower "FireWire Bus" has a little disclosure triangle, and when I it, it lists two "Unknown Devices." If I click on either of those two "Unknown Devices" it says this in the lower window: "Unknown Device. Manufacturer Unknown. Model Unknown. GUID 0X0. Max speed: up too 800 mb/sec. Connection speed unknown." It strikes me that one of these "FireWire buses" might be a PCI-X card I installed that provides some extra USB and two FW ports. Other than that, it's all Greek to me.
