[Cube] Do the processor upgrade cards fix Firewire?

[Richard Clark]

As far as I remember someone posted the chip and where to get it on  
cubeowner, but if your not an electronics expert you will probably  
screw up your MoBo, lots of tiny pins to solder, If your resets don't  
work your best bet might be a new Mother Board. To reset Open  
firmware I think you boot into OF and type reset-all or something  
like that it has been years and i don't have internet at the moment  
so I can't search. Anyway what worked for me on various times was the  
programmers reset, you hold down one of the buttons under the cube  
and power it up while holding the button until the light starts  
flashing fast.
