Default Firewire connection damage

Hi,

I have a MOTU firewire audio interface the the owner says he plugged the
firewire cable into the wrong way round. It now does not communicate with
the computer.

Is it possible/likely to damage the interface circuitry this way?



Cheers


Gareth.



You could certainly do mechanical damage, but you would have to push
hard. Firewire doesn't otherwise let you plug things in the wrong way round.
