[G4] Dead FW ports

[Brian Conner]

Yeah, it's not much of a problem these days on PowerMacs, but I've gotten a
few reports of problems that were solved this way. So, I still mention it as
a possibility. Mostly it's an issue with PowerBooks, and the solution is to
install a PCMCIA FW cardbus to provide the 2nd FW bus.

Hmmmm. interesting point.
I never thought that using the same card might cause a problem. I do all
that from the same port on my dual gig, through a powered hub. Camera, deck
and drives.
