Diagnosing a bad FireWire port
Hmmm, I recently had a problem booting my dual 867 MHz CPU G4, and after much gnashing of teeth, figured out that I had to unplug my Firewire CameraMate digital photo card reader (by MicroTechInt).
Whatever the problem was, it prevented the G4 from even booting up enough to open the CDROM door to boot of the emergency CD. Ie. I think it even prevented the firmware boot from executing (this is not a good feeling). All I had was a completely dark screen. Unplugging the card reader made everything work fine. I need to see if my card reader is bad and/or if the port on the G4 is bad. Hmmm, I hope the G4 hasn't gone bad. Ben Slade ---
