I am trying out

fwohci0: <VIA VT6306> port 0xa800-0xa87f mem 0xfa000000-0xfa0007ff irq 11 
at device 13.0 on pci0
fwohci0: PCI bus latency was changing to 250.
fwohci0: OHCI version 1.0 (ROM=1)
fwohci0: No. of Isochronous channel is 8.
fwohci0: EUI64 00:11:06:00:00:99:9a:d6
fwohci0: Phy 1394a available S400, 3 ports.
fwohci0: Link S400, max_rec 2048 bytes.
firewire0: <IEEE1394(FireWire) bus> on fwohci0
sbp0: <SBP2/SCSI over firewire> on firewire0
fwohci0: Initiate bus reset
fwohci0: BUS reset
fwohci0: node_id = 0xc800ffc0, CYCLEMASTER mode

I added an IDE drive to an external enclosure and it came up as

Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: fw_attach_dev: 2 pending handlers called
Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: retry_count = 1
Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: da0 at sbp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: da0: <Oxford S OXFORD IDE Devic 0035> Fixed 
Simplified Direct Access SCSI-4 device
Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: da0: 50.000MB/s transfers
Feb 18 09:20:53 amd /kernel: da0: 28629MB (58633344 512 byte sectors: 255H 
63S/T 3649C)
Feb 18 09:20:55 amd /kernel: fwohci0: Initiate bus reset
Feb 18 09:20:55 amd /kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset
Feb 18 09:20:55 amd /kernel: fwohci0: node_id = 0xc800ffc1, CYCLEMASTER mode
Feb 18 09:20:55 amd /kernel: firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable IRM = 1 
(me)

The speed of the drive was pretty close to that of it being directly on the 
IDE cable.  I havent done any extensive testing yet but so far so good!
