Well, it turns out that the replacement internal FW module does work
after all...unfortunately I only discovered this *after* I had ordered a
TI-chipset FW 400 card and thought that wasn't working either. It turns
out that my testing was at fault.
(Note to self: test FW devices with something
I've got a 2014 Mac mini that on 2 separate occasions corrupted its hard
drive so successfully that OSX (I think it was El Capitan) would start
booting and then after about 20-30 seconds just shutdown.

Thanks Kelly/Peter/Luis...

Great...thanks.
I've used PCI USB2 cards in the PowerMac without issues; I wasn't sure

Unfortunately the built-in Firewire ports no longer work (a common issue
on this model I believe). Even after replacing the FW module no

You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for
those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs
, but your reply made me double-check and I
was wrong. The 8.6 extensions are slightly older. If I can't find any
newer ones to download I'll try the 9.2.2 ones.
Thanks
