Drat, no such luck. The box just died on me again, and is on its way
back to Miglia for repairs for the third time. I keep thinking maybe
it's something I'm causing somehow (hence my original question about
overlong FireWire cables), but it just sits there hooked up to my Mac
with a FireWire cable, and video passes in and out of the Mac through
it. It's also cabled to a little TV that I use as a monitor when
editing video in Final Cut Express or iMovie, or when feeding video in
and out through a VCR. Doesn't seem like using it for what it was
designed to do should kill it. And yet this is the third time it's
died.

Thanks Clark. That puts my mind at ease, somewhat. Still don't know
why this ADC box died twice--I guess I'll have to look for some
other explanation. But with its innards replaced by the factory
maybe the trouble is past anyway.
I read your response to someone else's query. You stated it was
repaired twice, the first time it sounded like a component was
replaced, the second time the whole board. A component failure on
the board could have damaged some other part which after some time
could have failed. So hopefully a board replacement will fix it for
good. A lot of this type of equipment only has the single board so
replacing it is equivalent to a new (or refurbished) unit.

Thanks Clark. That's correct, the box came back to me the second time
with a note saying that "the entire circuit board has been replaced."
So yes, I have hope that it's fixed for good. But I just wanted to
make sure that the problem wasn't something that I may have caused
myself, such as starving it with an overly long power cord. I guess
that's unlikely, thank goodness.
All this demonstratedt that Miglia is a very good company for warranty
repairs, though. They answer e-mails instantly and do repair work
fast.
Best wishes,
Tom
