Firewire optical drive not recognized

Hello ,

have installed Devuan 5.0 on an older Mac and attached an even older optical DVD Drive (Lightscribe-enabled) via Firewire 800/400 Adapter and cable;

The drive is not being recognized eg. not shown in File Manager when i insert optical media;

Can someone please help to debug the issue;

Have read somewhere that firewire is supposedly still being actively maintained for some time;

Thanks.

Re: Firewire optical drive not recognized

it seems the drive itself is recognized, but it would recognize any media?
