Hi-
So, what you are trying to do is hook a USB 1.1 interfaced hard drive to your Firewire 400 port via the adapter?
If so, what do you hope to accomplish that hooking directly to a USB port wouldn't?
Seems to me (off the top of my head) all you'll achieve is slowing the firewire down to 12 ms/s (USB 1.1) and possibly confuse or conflict your system into unneeded issues. Issues like sleep issues, kernel panic, system freeze, etc.
How about more info on the adapter.... Maker?
