s0niccurve Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 hey ive got a 15" PPC powerbook g4 rinning tiger, a focusrite saffire and a g-tech g-raid external HD. both of these devices run through firewire. 400 for the saffire and 800 for the HD. the saffire works fine all the time. however when i use the hd is is very unpredictabe. randomly the HD will make and application freeze and become 'not responding' (usually finder, but if another application is using the drive that will go to). is this a known problem with the powerbooks? im presuming that it has something to do with the firewire bus. the drive works fine on other computers.

maxedwards Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think you'll need a fire wire card so that the other stuff doesn't clog the pathway... works similar on the new mbp too... I think; 2cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
