FireWire drive likes G3s, hates G4s

[Mike Pickard]

My Madlogix external Firewire drive mounts fine on my G3 B&W at home 
and an iBook at a local Apple Store.  But it doesn't show up at all 
on my Powerbook G4 12" or the store's desktop G4.  The difference 
seems to be the processor chip and/or the support chips in these 
machines.  Every one was running OS X 10.2.3 or.4.

Has anyone come across a Firewire drive whose bridge card is CPU chip 
sensitive?

Madlogix has disappeared from the Yahoo Mall or I'd ask them some 
questions.  Anybody with a Madlogix drive having better luck?

Thanks for your assistance.
