Hardware: - Ratocsystems Firedock FR-DK2 with one or two Maxtor IDE drives
- SWEEX PCMCIA card with two USB and two Firewire connectors
Defintely worked in the past: With Hardy, the drives showed as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc (I think) but I haven't used it for a couple of years
Cannot see the drives now: With either Precise or Trusty (just upgraded) I cannot see the drives.
- I am using the new Firewire stack but I may be loading it incorrectly or in the wrong sequence. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I think I have loaded the neccessary modules correctly above, but please tell me if I have got it wrong.
- Do I need to load some SCSI module?
- Do I need to do something with udev?
However, I cannot see the drives.

Apologies if I have formatted this message incorrectly. It is ages since I have posted here I had to register again, so I feel like a newbie again here.
