Yes, it was with FireWire.

I'll call the shop where I bought the HD and the enclosure to see what they can do for me. They sell Macs and were aware of my needs before selling that stuff to me.

Thanks for your precious help.

My pleasure, Luc. Make sure to get an enclosure that has a true Oxford chipset in it...

Searched a little for the oxford thing in the system profiler and found nothing.

But I found that (yes, my OS is in french):

I guess that I should have found something like "OXFORD IDE Device 1:" instead of "ST3250820A Unit :" if it was an Oxford drive...

So I guess the extra I paid for the FireWire interface is now worth nothing :/

Actually, here's where it says who did it:

Fabricant : Initio

So, it's an Initio chipset, not Oxford...
