It goes waaaay back!
Authored by: inmanjm on Jun 11, '03 03:21:30PM

I have a dual 800 and unfortunately, I never had a chance to even test my firewire ports until after the warranty was up. Then I discovered they wouldn't see ANY device. They showed up good enough on the system profile, though. Lucky for me, I have a coworker who let me plug my FW hard disk into their machine and feed off of it over the network.

Strange, sad, and true.

I thought they would have fixed that by now!

System Profiler not a good test

Yes, even though the port was bad, it still showed up on the Devices panel of System Profiler. What would not show up was the device connected to that port (if I happened to catch it when the port was doing its intermittent misbehavior).
