Hi all I bought another firewire card today, a Texas Instruments 1394PCIlynx unit. It works with the Mac, and controls/captures DV just fine. However it will not work right with the iBot. The software finds the iBot but it does not initialize. I think it needs power and the card doesn't have any.
I notice there are the solder pads for an optional power connection which currently isn't there. My other firewire has this power connector, which is a four pin floppy drive power connector I think. However the other card seems to power the iBot just fine. Do I need to solder and connect this power supply plug in order to power devices with this firewire card? Other than that it works fine. The TI branded firewire card has these part numbers on it: P/N: 9806006-0003 S/N 035E 1394PCILynx TSBKPCI; Selectron Texas USA It also has three empty 26 pin connector pinouts on the board, (standard spacing like for a floppy connector etc.) One says 'video port.' I wonder what that one does, and what oddball card plugs into it.. Thanks Bolton -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
