to connect using firewire to another mac reboot your dead machine holding down T on the keyboard (Target mode). If the drive aint fried it should load as an external drive on the second machine - so you can copy stuff across.
a little trick that works on fired HDs is to take it out of your machine put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it for about 2-3 hours in your freezer. trust me it actually works! its not a long term solution but will give you enough time to back up your hard drive. (friend did this about 6 months ago and he hasn't had a problem yet! weird!)
