We have purchased the API-800 Pyro 1394 Drive Kit. A Seagate hard drive=

with a fat32 file system is in the box and can be mounted successfully o=
n
a Mac or Windows machine and is visible. We are attempting to connect
it to a PC with a Western Digital FireWire PCI Adapter (WDAD002-RNW)
that is OHCI compliant and is running RedHat 7.1 Linux. A device was
made called /dev/ohci1394 with the command "mknod -m 0666 /dev/ohci1394
b 171 0" with ownership root.disk. The driver modules, ieee1394.o,
ohci1394.o, msdos.o, fat.o and vfat.o are loaded and show with "lsmod".=

ieee1394 shows a dependency of ohci1394. ohci1394 shows a dependency of=

(unused). /proc/ohci1394 exists and contains data. /proc/pci has an
entry for the device. /proc/interrupts has an entry for the device at i=
rq
10. /proc/ioports shows nothing about it unless the entry "0cf8-ocff :
PCI conf1" is it. /proc/iomem has an entry corresponding the the entry
in /proc/pci. "df /dev/ohci1394" generates results, but it does not see=
m
correct. "fdisk /dev/ohci1394" generates "Unable to open /dev/ohci1394"=
.
"mount -t msdos /dev/ohci1394 /mnt" generates "mount: /dev/ohci1394:
unknown device".

Please, advise on how to mount the hard drive in the box.
