- dual 1.25ghz power mac G4 w/OSX Tiger, Old imac g3 w/OS9
My computer is not responding to anything that I plug into it through firwire (800). I noticed the problem when I tried to connected my digi 002 and my computer didn't respond. Then I tried to connect my external lacie hd and it didn't respond. I know its not the cable or either the digi 002 or lacie because all work with my other computer.
So I am guessing I need a new firewire card for my power mac g4, right?
If this is so, how do I know which firewire card I need. I've searched online at severel different sites and at the apple store. The apple store only seems to offer the 400 firewire card and the one I need is 800.
Another concern of mine is that I am not exactly sure how to install the new firewire card seeing that I opened up my computer a saw that there are other things blocking the way to my firewire card. Does anyone know how to do this properly?
Thank you for your help.
