Well still no success with FW400 on the G5. Kris, I downloaded the update, but I'm somewhat loath to use it as I don't think it's an OS issue: I have both Tiger on the drive it came with, and Leopard on the SATA drive I put in. FW400 works in neither - if it worked in tiger but not Leopard then I would obviously try this.
I recently found a cheap generic FW400 in a box so I've tried that in place of the Belkin FW400/800 card I had in there.. (I've used one of these cheapo PC FW cards before in my Macs and they work fine in G4's) and again it shows up in System Profiler as a firewire card with driver installed., but will not talk to anything, although it powers the device (Griffin FireWave again). I just tried launching the G5 in Target Disk mode. With the FireWave plugged in via adapter to the FW800 socket, and a FW400 cable from the FireWave to my MirrorDoor G4 running Leopard, the G5 does not show up as a Target. System Profiler on the MD sees it as an unknown device.with manufature as 'AAPL". I then restarted the G5 and its System Profiler sees the G4 as a Macintosh attached to the FireWave. I have internet sharing enabled on both machines but the G5 tells me straight away that I am not connected to the internet when I launch Software Update. However this could be a red herring, as I always seem to have to futz around to get this to work!) I have just tried FW800 cable connecting the two machines, and TDM works fine, using the G5 as Target. Curious! (but not unexpected, as this was how I originally installed Leopard on the G5. (Internet connection sharing still doesn't happen though. More futzing required for that I guess!) further thought anyone?
