Recently my Power Mac G5 got hung up (had to force power down) a couple of times. After some trouble shooting I realized it was happening only when the FireWire 410 was hooked up (and turned on.) I went to the M-Audio website and saw this article under the knowledge base saying that you can not network over a firewire IEEE 1394 connection while using the device. I was thrown off by this because that was saying I couldn't be hooked to (recording to) an external FW drive while using the box. I called the support line and they said this was true and that I would have to purchase a firewire 400 card to get around this problem. (He sounded a bit frustrated like I wasn't suppose to ask that question.) A couple questions. Does it sound reasonable for a firewire interface to have this limitation? Has anyone else had this problem (from what the guy said it sounds like only some people have this issue though they say no one should attempt the network connection.) Do the Presonus interfaces have this issue? Is firewire IEEE 1394 firewire 400, 800, or could be either? And lastly, does the firewire 400 port in the back of a G5 run of a seperate bus (or card) than the one on the front? If yal could let me know I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
P.S. This is my first post here at MacMusic! P.S.S. I have up to date drivers and am running 10.4.6. |

Hi,
That's really strange, because i have a Firewire 410 (for 2 years now), conected to a Powerbook G4/867, and on the second firewire connection of the 410, i've got 2 external HD's and a DVD recorder, all conected in daisychain, and sometimes in the end i connect my dv camcorder, and nothing like that ever happened to me. I digitize lots of audio to one of the externals HD, through the 410, i've got the last driver from m-audio, that gave some glintchs (never happend before), sometimes the 410 freezes, and no audio output, the only thing i have to do is in the 410 control mixer, reset the device and every thing is normal, but apart from that, all works well.
