Just got off the phone with TC electronic. I apparently have a unit with too old of firmware, or just a junk unit.

One cool trick they taught me is how to identify your firewire chipset:

1. Reboot your mac, hold down Command-S while rebooting...

2. A black screen with white text appears with a bunch of gobblegoo.

3. Towards the bottom of the gobblegoo, look for the word "firewire"

If it says "TI" after it, you have the most desirable TI chipset. There were apparently a few aluminum imacs that did have this chipset, so if you have one you are in luck.

4. type exit to reboot back into OSX.
