One oddity I did notice with the USB card and 9.1 was that it would not work until I downloaded the Apple's latest USB card adapter. (1.4 I think ?) > I don't really care so much about the USB. Is there a Firewire-only > card that works? I could do a separate USB card in another slot. I'm using a Granite Digital 1394 Firewire to PCI host adapter. Their item number 4546. It runs fine with 9.1 and higher. Don't know about 9.0.4, I never used it. Been very trouble free and has and runs 380-400 Mb transfer speeds. It's worked with everything I have plugged into it. > > Is it never going to work? Has anyone found a Firewire solution that > works? Should I keep trying, or not? This one does. I don't know what the differences are between the Power base and Power Tower? The Granite Digital is a little spendier than some firewire cards, but it was highly recommended by a friend at Apple, and it lived up to it's advertising.
