Re: Firewire2Go ??
I use a Firewire2Go with my Wallstreet and it works with both OS 9.1 and 10.2.1. In OS 9.1, I have used it intensely with a digital camcorder and it never failed; but I could not use it to burn CDs with a Firewire CDRW drive (Toast kept saying that it could not write to the drive fast enough - even at 1x). In 10.2.1, I have not tried the camcorder yet, but just for the hack of it, I tried burning a CD at 24x and it worked like a charm. Luis Hi, All. Undergoing a frantic effort to get my Cardbus Firewire2Go card to work with my Lombard Powerbook. In both OS 9.2 and X.2 my card is 'seen' by Apple System Profiler, but I can't mount my LaCie pocketdrive through it, even though it's independently powered. The same drive works fine hooked up to my G4's built-in firewire port. I've applied Newer's special 'enabler' patch (v1.01) for OS 9 (and removed Apple's cardbus enabler extension, as indicated by NewerTech faq), but it still doesn't want to mount in 9.2 Likewise, wondering if anyone's gotten the card to work in OS X Jaguar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA. Rick -- Rick Smykla http://rsmykla.home.pipeline.com/index.htm -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

No drivers required for OS 10 but I need a restart sometimes to get the Firewire device recognised. In OS9 I seem to recall some extension issues but it worked very well. -- With best wishes, Roger Shufflebottom -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Firewire2Go ??
Thanks to all who answered. Judging from the reports of those who responded, it looks like my particular drive/card combo is the culprit. Unfortunately, I don't have another firewire device to test with the card at this point in time. I'll soon have a firewire burner to check the operation of the card, hopefully this will verify the card's operation. Either way, it sounds like I might benefit from a visit to eBay or the lem swap list, and pick up one of the recommended cards for OS X. I'll drop a line here again once I've confirmed whether the card is operational or not. Thanks again. Rick Hi, All.
