The biggie here is that I don't think Firewire can downgrade its
connection speeds like USB 2.0 can: you can plug a USB 2.0 device
into a USB 1.1 socket and it will still run, just at a fraction of
the speed. From my experiences in the office, you can't get a
Firewire 800 device to function at all in a Firewire 400 socket.
This is the only reason I can think of why you can't get an external
Firewire drive to work in your existing Firewire setup as I've had
no problem using different cables and plug converters in the
Firewire kit at home and work.
I got it working. I had originally tried the hot plug-in but this
time I shut down the laptop and plugged in the fw cable and it
worked. Good info on the fw not being backwards compatible,
though. I would not have thought of that. Thanks.
