Right now two major family emergencies has all my attention. But, i will state that since initially using the drive via firewire, then "ejecting" it, NO other firewire device works on my system. Can't capture frmo my mini-dv, nor is a lacie drive being recognized. Firewire shared irq 17 w/ onboard promise raid controller but never was a problem. Disabling the raid controller didn't help anyway. I tried changing HAL to standard pc for naught. Just installed SP4 (win2k), no joy.
