[QUOTE="Stingray4100, post: 989990, member: 142086"] Hi All - not sure if this post belongs in hardware or software, so mods, please move if inappropriate.... I have a macbook pro with a single FW800 port. I have noticed that it still powers the device (presonus audio interface) even when the laptop is shutdown. Trolling through the net, I discovered that this is normal behaviour when the laptop is connected to power, but it doesn't occur with the power disconnected. The issue is the presonus doesn't have a power switch and I don't really want to keep unplugging the presonus from the laptop because this will eventually damage the port. The only option left is to disconnect the laptop from the power supply every time I shut down. Is there a way to get the macbook to disconnect the power to the FW port on shutdown? thanks Paul [/QUOTE]
