[1394] the Firewire ports have a problem

[support at fwdepot]

One of a few things could be happening:

1) ports fried
2) ports need to be reset

If you are using OS X, boot into open firmware

Reboot your machine and hold down CMD-Option-O-F
When you reach the firmware screen, type
Reset-all
And press return

See if the ports are working again (hopefully).....
