Panther FireWire Bug
Overview
Even before the official release of Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" on October
24, 2003, we were reporting MacInTouch reader experiences with
corrupted FireWire hard drives and lost files.
A week later, Apple acknowledged a very serious "Panther" FireWire bug
that that the company blamed on an Oxford 922 bridge device popular
with drive manufacturers. Just connecting a FireWire 800 drive to a Mac
running "Panther" can ruin the data on the drive. The problem does not
occur with earlier versions of Mac OS X, however.
This report collects notes from Apple, third-party drive manufacturers
and MacInTouch readers to explain the problem, the solutions and best
practices for managing the whole issue.
