hello!
we have a 8500/180 that sits in the corner with our dvd-ram drive (scsi), cd
burner (scsi), powerlook scanner (scsi), and two firewire lacie drives (20
and 40 gig). firewire support is in the form of a 3 port pci card. the
machine also has a 100/10 ethernet card in it.
this all worked very well, all be it at a chuggy pace.
in the last few weeks connecting to the 8500 and the firewire drives has
gone from useable to completely unusable - the speed decrease has been
really big to the point where picking the 8500 from the chooser takes a
minute and a half to mount it on the desktop! copying files between machine
has also gone from a regular network speed to virtually nill.
funny thing is, if you connect out from the 8500 to any of the other
machines on the network, everything works at a decent speed. we've tried
reinstalling drivers, different extensions sets, the works.
does any one have an idea why this machine is sooooo slooooowww to connect
to??
thanks for any help,
jake
