I guess ignorance is bliss, Hal. My Firewire ports are AWOL as well on my G5 no wonder I could not sync my 4th Gen. iPod via FW. ³About my Mac² reported my external LaCie DVD burner, but only after a long time; Toast can¹t see it. And my Seagate back up drive (front FW) is also a no show. Hope a cool down does the trick. If not, any other suggestions more OS-related anyone? FYI, my G5 unit is VERY clean (yes, in the audio world, analog and digital, we¹re taught to check the cables/connections first in troubleshooting).
