hey there,
i have a dual 1.8 g5 powerpc here at work. i have a small 160gig firewire 400 and a big 2tb firewire 800 drive hooked up into the back of the machine. the machine keeps unmounting the FW400 drive without warning. its being used as a back up drive.
i was told that macs will sometimes just "choose" which firewire device to support when both the 400 and 800 ports are being used. i have since daisy-chained the drives together, and the small FW400 drive showed up fine.....for about 20min, then it just unmounted. any ideas? thanks in advance.
