Hello all, is not the Apple Firewire cable technology engineered so that it is OK to plug in a device while a computer is on?
This procedure, slang term in US, called "Hot Plugging"-a UCLA engineering grad tells me that in the last 6 years or so, the technology is able to do that, and no damage to a firewire computer port should happen
M-Audio company technical people are starting to email me, since their Firewire Solo CRAP device made my Mac G4 laptop computer port inoperable-despite following their CRAPpy worthless instructions.
Everybody told me, as soon as this happened they will try to "B.S." me, blame me,shirk responsibility, & it began about 7 hours ago.
So would like your technical opinion.
Isn't their "EXCUSE" - "You did not follow our Instructions"
IRRELEVANT since Firewire technology is engineered to enable "hot plugging"?
