Re: lacie BIGGEST FW800

[t35t0r <t3...@gm...>]

I think the FW800 card in a regular PCI slot will only function at
FW400. This (should not but) may be confusing the card or your
machine. I think that LaCie FW800 card has a power input on the card,
is this connected on to your PSU?

If you continue to have these problems you might try a non-LaCie FW400
32 bit card, they're pretty cheap nowadays.

I'm not sure about the firmware version, how can you get this
information while in linux? I did use the latest firmware which was
released June 22, 2005 http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/ before
formatting the drive EXT3. Look for device updater for windows
(unfortunately, but I think they have one for macosx too). I wouldn't
want to try it using wine, who knows what sort of low level win32asm
the flash updater uses.
