[QUOTE="bantanda, post: 827617, member: 94573"] Thanks to you both for responding. I believe it does in fact refer to the chipset on the computer. I have read rather widely about the issue and it is recommended: a) to use a Texas Instruments firewire interface on the computer's end b) to avoid Macs which do not have this kind of interface. Definitely - it's a very specific query. Part of the problem in getting it addressed. :) I am glad to hear you haven't had any problems, although I believe the affected machines date from early '07 into mid '08, or thereabouts. Yes, Mac is a popular platform for pro audio. That's why the move away from the TI chipset was met with some incredulity and mild panic. All I really want to avoid is buying an otherwise extremely solid machine which ends up being slightly lacking in a very specific department, namely the firewire chipset. Again, thanks for your input. If anyone else has anything to add then I would love to hear from you. [/QUOTE]
