What kind of MacBook Pro are you using ? (Model, year of make, CPU, clock frequency) What OS version are you running ? > Has anybody else encountered the same problem? Never had that problem. But: My MacBook Pro is already two years old ... I cure a lot of problems by clamping a lot of ferrites around the fireware cable. I mean A LOT : 20 ... I basically cover the whole cable with 'em. Another thing that helped me cure any firewire challenge is to use a firewire hub in a metal chassis. The hub is also a signal shaper and amplifier. I also now can use several firewire devices on the same bus (my audio interface uses the same bus without problems). > Thanks & 73, > > Tobias > DH1TW Curious to hear what you are using.
