Check and make sure the proper system extensions have been installed in the System Folder. Mac OS 9.x.x has a generic installer extension that will cover most firewire cards and devices. Also, if the card is brand new and supports OS 9, some cards will have the drivers copied to an install CD; make sure you load that before plugging in the firewire card. Sometimes doing a clean new custom install of a System Folder will fix the problem. Once the new System Folder is in place, simply move all your old extensions, prefs and non-stock control panels into the new one and restart.
