 | Firewire Question Ok, just picked me up a Firewire interface and want to make sure I don't eff anything up..I am used to PCI powered cards. Any rules for powering up/down? I am assuming to power up before computer is on and down after computer is off. Anything else I should know? Just trying to be on the safe side, thank you!

| Firewire is even hot-pluggable you will cause no damage. BUT your device might not be recognized if you switch it on after booting the pc... Just try it. Stefan

| Read the manual, they might suggest powering up before or after. War

| m-audio tells you to only connect/disconnect devices with the computer power off. my guess is that they cheaped out on protection circuitry and that some people have fried their devices by hot-plugging. |

| I wish I could remember some details or what mag it was, but just recently in some recording mag, maybe Sound On Sound or Future Music or something, there was a piece on the subject. Anyone else read it and know what mag it was? Anyway, I remember it did say that some devices were better/safer than others as far as hot-swapping and such was concerned (only thing I remember was Edirol's being called good in this respect). I'll have a look and see if I still have it somewhere. Peece, T. Tauri |
