Hi, thanks. I put the disk into my computer directly (without the external case) and everything seems to be fine. Although I cannot use the FW interface any more either, the linux FW driver logs "error reading configrom for device ..." when I connect it and doesn't detect any devices. I guess the USB/FW controller in the external case is really broken. I'll send it back to the manufacturer.
