If the green LED in the granite digital cable is what you are referring to, the voltage on the PC firewire jack is what turns it on, so when it goes lit for 5 seconds and turns off, it would lead me to believe you have a funky firewire port on your PC. I have seen some cases where the port is partially covered by computer case overhang or the spacers between the slots so the plug does not go in all the way into the jack, which also could be your situation. I would try a different firewire card if you can.
In the XP control panel for Power, select the one where its says Always powered up (or something similar, I am not near an XP machine at the moment). Since you are not using USB (i.e.m 1500) then I would not suspect the USB power management in XP. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 5:35 PM, <kd0...@gmail.com> wrote: > As I dreaded, my Flex is unusable this weekend.
