[QUOTE="Danw400, post: 450557, member: 34627"] Is that the only firewire port you have? I know that (at least with fw 400) the ports on firewire are very sensitive, and that disconnecting something connected to the port without properly ejecting it will burn those things out and just plain kill the port, electrical surge or something. I've worked on G5's and mac pros in a lab-type environment and sometimes I'd have to try a few computers to find one where someone hadn't burnt out the firewire port. [/QUOTE]
