i have a classic VAIO SR7k notebook with a bad PCMCIA slot which has prohibited me from using the SONY PCMCIA CDROM drive. this means that i can't use the SONY system restore CDs since windows 2000 bios only recongized the SONY PCMCIA CDROM. bad SONY. i have an external LaCie firewire CDRW and i have created a floppy boot disk (USB floppy drive) using rawrite.exe. unfortunately i don't know the correct script in config.sys to tell the startup to look at the firewire port and the LaCie drive. will the ASPI1394.SYS driver do the job? can i get it somewhere as a free download? how would i install it for this purpose?
the current script in config.sys on the boot floppy is:

BUFFERS 99
devicehigh=\sys\ansi.sys
;device=\sys\himen.sys /testmemff
device=\sys\va16365.sys/ne
device=\sys\va16cd.sys/D:MSCD001
