Alrighty,so a couple weeks ago I purchased a 410 for my powermac g5 1.8 SP right out the box it did not work computer would not reconize it. I tried reinstalling the drivers numerous times and bought a new cable still nothing. Tech support suggested upgrading from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9. Before I did this I sent the 410 back and got a new one in the meantime I did the software upgrades.
I have never had anything else plugged into the computer that is firewire. The device does power I get the flashing blue light. When I go to the system profile I get no information for the device tree but only if the 410 is plugged in without it it's normal. The only thing I can think of is the firewire port on the computer is bad but I'm having a hard time comprehending that since it's new and I never used it before and it does power the device. Anyone got any advice before I lug the computer out to have the firewire tested? Similiar problem? Thanks. |

I bought a FW Solo and couldn't make it work unitl I realized I had to opent the System Prefeference > Sound and set the Input and the Output to right device.
Then, the drivers interface is far from intuitive but you eventually can get around. |
