very unreliable firewire connection - tankknight
I had the same problem. I tried everything and finally just out of curiosity chain the 200 thru an external firewire HD and still works to this day that way. Of course then being able to play back recordings was very bad. It turned out to be that I was using a Quicksilver 733mhz G4 (not enough power). I replaced the CPU with a Powerlogix dual 1.3ghz processer and then almost all the problems went a way.Wednesday, March 02 2005 @ 04:00 PM PST

I too had this problem. I'm running on a G4 1.4 MHz Sawtooth. It used to not connect with the EyeTV200, but they had some firmware updates, so I'd check that. Also, I used to daisy chain it with a Firewire CD burner which I've since stopped using and the problems seemed to have gotten better. It's rare that a don't have a connection now.Wednesday, March 02 2005 @ 04:43 PM PST
