How do you know the external housing's FW interface isn't the problem? Have you used anything else on your PC's FW ports, such as a camcorder? You really need to try it on another FW equiped PC first, then if it works it does point to your FW card.

If you do need to change your FW card, and you don't use your FW ports for anything else, it might be worth going for a USB2 card as this may give you more options for future upgrades.
