Hey guys!

Got a used Fireport earlier this year from ebay and sadly didn't get a chance to try it out until now...and it won't work. It fires up, has power, powers the drive, but the software always says that it can't see any drives connected.

I've tried this on Mac as well as PC...does anyone know if there's any tricks I'm missing here to get this to work? Used both the HDtools app as well as the native app that Alesis released.

Any help much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sig

When I was a maintenance engineer for a tv studio, manufacturers
claimed that you could plug in firewire cables when the equipment was
powered up. That led to many blown firewire ports until I convinced
users that claim was bs. You could very well have a blown port.
