<Don't know what your setup is but check this out. I actually 
<had the same
<problem with some 450 G4's. Was trying to use both Firewire 
<ports, one for a
<scanner and one for a burner. Turned out both ports were good

<use 1 at a time. Overloaded them I guess. So I switched the 
<burner to usb
<and worked fine. If your not already try just using one of the ports.
