Look in the system log for Firewire errors. I think you identified the problem, but I don't think it's endemic, else we'd have heard about this by now. Given that things worked after you unplugged the camera, I'd sy the issue was the camera, not the FW on the computer. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
