Hi Larry
What OS is your friend running?
OS10.3.3
Is he connecting to native firewire ports or through an add-on PCI card.
native
Does the drive perform the same way on other computers?
Not on macs on firewire.
Have your friend check for the latest firmware for that firewire bridge.
yes
I've used LaCie's firmware successfully on other brand's to improve it's performance and reliability.
I haven't tried this.

I have a friend who bought a BusLink 80gig external drive with USB2, Firewire400 and SATA. The USB2 and SATA work fine but the Firewire port seems to have some sort of termination problem. The FW port does not work at all unless you have another firewire device in the chain.
Does anyone else have information or experience with this type of problem?
