I don't remember offhand if I tried booting with the drive hooked 
up...will have to try that.

IIRC, OS 9 just didn't see the drive (nothing showed up in ASP) and OS X 
froze every time I tried plugging the drive in.

Tonight I'll try booting into both systems with the drive hooked up, as 
well as trying a new cable that I have...

My Pismo sees my Spressa just fine, but really likes it when I already have
it plugged in when I boot the PowerBook. If I plug it in after boot,
sometimes it will see the Sony and sometimes  it won't.

Thanks for the advice guys, but the Que! is just not showing up anymore, old
cable or new cable.  Nada.  Never mind.
Looks like I can kiss my FW ports goodbye...

Re: Pismo doesn't see FireWire QPS Que!

2002-07-25 Thread Sam Donaldson 

That sounds good, the strange thing is that the drive does work, sometimes.
For example it worked last night for just one CD, then when I rebooted a bit
later on it wasn't there.
Maybe a loose connection inside the FW ports on the Pismo?
Anyone know how to check without breaking either the bank or the 'book?
Thanks,
Sam

There's a brand new (yesterday) Update that addresses CDRW drive
compatibility improvements; is it possible that one machine had it and the
other didn't?

Pismo doesn't see FireWire QPS Que!

2002-07-24 Thread Sam Donaldson 

Hi all, after a long break I'm back with the same problem (sort of).

Yesterday my Que! 8x4x32x cdrw rose from its 6month slumber and surprised me
by successfully burning CDs in both iTunes and Toast 5.1 (OS9.1, 192Mb, 20gb
no other FW devices).  This morning the drive didn't even appear in the ASP.

It DOES, however, work just fine with a friends TiBook (same cables and all
that) but no response from the Pismo...

Is that the FW ports gone?  Multiple plug permutations and re-plugging-in
and things have no effect, nor does the "shut-down/start-up" fix-all
solution from Apple.  Is there a way to test FW ports without another FW
device (I've not got access to any).

As ever, thoughts, advice, similar problems or even complete solutions are
appreciated,
Thanks!
Sam
