It sounds like a power issue to me. I have a couple of firewire cases, one of which is a Seagate 80gig 7200rpm inside of an icecube firewire enclosure- which refuses to work from the power on the firewire port, and thus means that I have to cart a power supply around with me when I use this drive. My other firewire drive is one of the early 20 gig firewire enclosures (can't remember the brand)... though this one is more than happy to run from the power supplied by the firewire port... unless it's plugged into a laptop.
Hope that helps, Jasper <-J.L.E Streit-> -----Original Message----- From: Robert Tillsley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 13 June 2003 5:57 PM To: 'Lyle Chapman'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SLUG] Problem What brand and model is the case?
