I bought a PCI/Firewire card and cable, and used it to connect my Sony PV-GS80 camcorder, which uses MiniDV tapes and has a Firewire socket. I get the following messages in /var/log/messages, which suggest the Firewire card may be a bad one.

This is with PC-BSD 7.0 on a test machine. I have a similar lack of success on a Linux machine, with the same card. Should I buy a new card, or is there anything else worth trying first? -- Mike Jeays http://www.jeays.ca _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
