[FW] Firewire Drive Failing?

[Rick Castillo]

John

This will test to see if the Oxford interface is bad. 

Swap the drives and see if the problem switches to the other drive.  If 
it mounts does and the drive that is currently not mouting mounts in the 
other slot the Oxford interface at that 1st location is going bad or has 
gone bad.
