External firewire drive (-6085) errors Please Help

[Salita]

I'm having tons of trouble with my new Western Digital firewire drive, and I can't figure it out at all.

I'm running:
Mac G4 dual 1Ghz
1.75 GB RAM
Digi 002 Rack
Focusrite Octopre



I just picked up a 200GB firewire drive and kept getting -6085 error messages during playback and record. (this is on the second track of audio - nothing CPU intensive at all) I tried chaining the Digi and the drive, and connecting both directly to the computer.
After checking the forum, I found that my Mac has a compatibility issue with external drives and got a new Pyro 1394 PCI card. Still having the same problem.

Any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out here.

Thanks,
<-Ryan
