Posted before, but on New Years Eve, and am guessing no one noticed, so
I am reposting these questions.
I just picked up a Yamaha CDRW firewire drive where the cdrw was
trashed. I put in a DVD/cdrw drive and it works fine. It is identified
as a FireWire 400 Device in system profiler.
My questions are:
How can I tell if it has the Oxford 911 chipset? Is there an actual
chip on board that says Oxford? I did not see one on the top of the
interface board, but I did not pull it out to check the bottom. Is it a
disaster if I do not have this chipset?
I see many external drive cases have a notice that they support drives
up to X GBs. Is this a limitation of the USB interface only, or does it
apply to some FireWire chipsets? I don't want to blow the toy fund on a
300G hd, only to have it become irrevocably corrupted after 250GB has
been written to it.
Thanks,
Len
