The enclosure I have gets this -> firewire0: New S400 device ID:0030e001e0017089 firewire0: Device SBP-II sbp0: on firewire0 da1 at sbp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da1: Fixed Simplified Direct Access SCSI-4 device da1: 50.000MB/s transfers da1: 76319MB (156301488 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 9729C) sbp0:0:0 request timeout ... agent reset It seems to work fine too. > Some of the older enclosers you add your own drive to kind of work with > firewire.
