Hi again,
I was playing around with the Uploader for the Oxford911 chipset in my Belkin case and set a wrong option. The Firewire part of the case was not detected by WinXP-SP2. The USB2 part was working with no problem. What I had to do to correct the problem was to do what Orford calls a "Force Flash". It's detailed out in their manual. It puts a ground on Pin57 if I remember correctly. It's also detailed out in the other thread on externals.

I was able to use the Firewire ports again, but they were still limited to 13MB/s.

What I would say, if you are happy with 12X and more than likely 13X (PCAT) burns with your 3500, I would keep the case. If you can exchange it for a Prolific 3507 without any additional cost, you also might want to go this way.
