I just bought a used iPod and got a firewire PCI card so that I could use it
w/ my Beige G3 DT computer. When I put the card in (3rd slot, farthest from
power supply) the computer wont start up. I get the desktop pattern and the
big icon w. the OS 9.2 name, the little bar begins to go across from lt to
rt, but only goes about 1/6 of the way, then the cursor turns into a
spinning ball thing, then stops spinning and it's then stalled/frozen.
I suspected an extensions conflict with FW extensions, so left the card
in and started up w. extensions off but same thing happened. I tried the
reset (cuda) button, and turning off a couple FW extensions after removing
the FW card, but that didn't help either. When I take the card out it works
normally. Do I just have a bad fw card, or what might the problem be?
I want to use my iPod!
Beige G3 desktop, 256 mb RAM
OS 9.2.1
video and USB cards
400 mhz G3 NewerTech processor chip (overclocked to 433)
