A photo of a CF-Firewire adapter here. http:/carnot.yi.org/UnityDigitalCF.Firewire.jpg I removed the cover in case anyone is interested. The two largest chips are marked LSI SYM13FW501 and Winbond W27E010P-70.
When the firewire plug is connected, dmesg gives the following. fdisk -l yields nothing about the device. Is anything short of work on the driver likely to make this adapter operate? Thanks, ...
