Well, here goes!
Have a iOGear Pcmcia Firewire/Usb 2.0 Combo card (model GUF202) , with an external Lacie d2 Extreme 160gb Firewire/USB Hard Drive, on a Powerbook G3 Lombard 333mhz, 512k ram, OS9.2/OSX 10.2.8.
PROBLEM: Lombard will not recognize the Lacie d2 with Firewire in OS9. (Actually, it won't show the Firewire ports period even in "Devices and Volumes" under OS9's System Profiler. The card's firewire presently only works and shows in OSX). The drive mounts w/USB no problems using the iOGear card both in OS9 and OSX.
(Actually, other than with USB, the drive wouldn't mount w/Firewire in OSX either at first, until rebooted into OS9 and installed the Lacie Firewire Extensions on OS9. Though it STILL wouldn't show firewire in OS9, when rebooted to OSX, the Lacie drive then magically mounted via Firewire in OSX. Thankfully! But I still can't do firewire in OS9, which of course is where I need it!)
Have the following extensions installed in OS9:
firewire cardbus enabler 1.0.1
firewire enabler 2.8.4
firewire authoring support 1.1.2
firewire support 2.8.4
Lacie Firewire Support 6.5.4
The drive powers up as soon as connected to the card via firewire in OS9, (and it of course works fine w/Firewire now in OSX), so am assuming the card is functioning to capacity. It's just OS9 which doesn't want to recognize the iOGear "Firewire" ports. OS9 shows the iOGear USB ports no problem, just not the Firewire.
Have searched the net for days, including here at MacOSX and of course Apple, and have found nothing to assist. Your kind offerings shall be ever so greatly appreciated on all fronts.
Thanks!
PS: The iOGear GUF202 "supports Mac 8.6 to 9.x, Mac OSX or greater". Also there are no special iOGear drivers included for OS9. I have yet to get through to iOGear support for their ideas on the matter. Oh, and I'm NOT running in Classic for OS9, I'm booting fully into OS9 where the firewire won't show.
