I have a FW/USB 2 enclosure with the Oxford 911 chipset. The case that it was in holds 1ea HDD, your standard size drive, not the 2.5" laptop drives. That said, I'm looking at taking the board out, and mounting it inside the chassis of an old Mac Mini case that I've bought from eBay. My main qustions are 1) Is there any way to find out if my board will support more than 1 device (master, slave) ? And 2) If question one is yes, where can I find a cable with for 2 devices that fits the 2.5" HDD, and optical drive ?

You should be able to see where I'm going with this. I'm not a fan of the Mini Stack or it's looks, and would like to have a FW/USB 2 solution with a HDD and DVD-RW/DL that goes perfectly with my mini.

Any help would be appreciated!
