This will work for a Firewire port, but the original idea was to access Target 
Disk Mode, which only works with the built-in Firewire. I've got a similar 2.0 
dual G5 and it's had some problems with Firewire in the past which seemed 
intermittent and definitely came back to full functionality after a period of 
not working. I didn't "do anything" to fix it, other than zap the PRAM & reset 
the NVRAM. A dead PRAM battery might be an issue?
