[FireWire Depot Support]

what happened when you flashed the bridgeboard in your original 
enclosure?

The Oxford and Initio firmware utilities are there to allow users to 
keep their enclosures up to date, altho there are sometimes issues that 
cannot be fixed with a simple firmware update...

some companies that sell FireWire don't really know anything about 
firewire other than its a product they sell.

ProMax has a very good reputation so you may have just spoken to 
someone who doesn't know about the availability of the firmware 
utilities......
