To cut a long story short, I'd like to try to get my Dazzle* Hollywood DV bridge working and the only Mac likely to work with it is my old B&W G3 Powermac. Unfortunately the built-in Firewire ports no longer work (a common issue on this model I believe). Even after replacing the FW module no external devices are recognized in OSX Tiger or MacOS 9.2.2/8.6 so I suspect the TI chip on the motherboard has gone. Does anybody know if the generic PCI FW cards work with PowerPC Macs? There seem to be quite a lot of different models available on Amazon but I can only see one that says it works with Macs and it doesn't mention OS compatibility. The reviews are all from Windows users. Yes, any PCI FW 400 card will work on a PCI Mac; it’s a very standardized standard (and partly written by Apple to boot). -- 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.
