Problems getting Mac to see FireWire peripherals
Problems getting Mac to see FireWire peripherals
This Apple Discussions Board thread (among others) continues to post reader comments.
One reader reports that booting in to Open Firmware (Command-Option-O-F at startup) and entering the <reset-all> command did the trick.
One reader found that "downgrading" to the extensions from the FireWire 2.8.1 SDK succeeded for him. He adds: "The SDK came with a little app called 'Firecracker' that showed - before I changed the extensions - no FireWire activity at all on either port, both 'timed out.' After I dropped in the two extensions, FireWire Enabler 2.8.1 and FireWire Support 2.8.1, both dated January 22, 2001, I rebooted and FireWire came back. The 'Firecracker' app now doesn't show the buses timed out - instead it shows they're there and working."
