Firewire Bus Power
Hi.
I've been using my Echo AudioFire12 for years with my Mac Pro, but now
I'm using it in the field with my MacBook (no-pro).
The AF 12 is (AC) self powered yet the MacBook automatically sends it
bus power, thusly running hotter and the fan never stops.
If I plug in a 6 pin FW cable to the MacBook and leave the other end
un-attached the fan never turns on. When I plug in the AF 12, the fan
starts up (within a few minutes).
It there an adapter cable or a mod that can be done to the AF12 so it
doesn't "ask" for bus power? Or is there a way to disable Firewire bus
power on the Mac (10.6.5)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Erik
