Both tests failed. Guess it's a fried port. Odd thing is, I have a PC slot firewire card that I've tried with this same PB G4 that also does not recognize any firewire devices hooked up to it. I haven't installed any special drivers for that card on this computer and can't recall whether it came with any drivers, but that may be the reason why it's not working. I'll do some Internet searching for drivers to see it I can find anything.

If these fail then you can assume a fried port. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be May 27.
