Hi Alan, I had a defective firewire cable.
Attempt to make a long story short... About two years ago I purchased an external drive case to hold my old laptop drive, when we put a bigger drive in my Powerbook. The drive came with a IDE to PCMCIA cable, for connecting to the laptop. About six months later, when that particular drive case was being discontinued, I purchased a "clearance priced" IDE to Firewire cable for it, for future compatibility. Late last year, we put combo firewire/USB cards in the c600 and 9600. I tried for weeks to get either the c600 or the 9600 to recognize the external firewire drive. After many exchanges with tech support, they asked me to send them the cable for testing. The cable turned out to be defective. To my surprise, they replaced it at no charge.
