Based on my earlier thread : SONY Camcorder - Is It broken? Solution : there were too many firewire items in the chain - and the Sony camera started working when I took things out of the FireWire chain... That brings up another question: FireWire hub? I noticed that there is a product that is a FireWire hub. I never really saw a use for this before, however maybe if it keeps the the connections clean ( and maybe provides power to the line) - then maybe it would solve the problem. Do you think this might help? -- Thanks - RevDave Lists at domains4days.com [db-lists] Check out some great Domain Names at: http://www.domains4days.com
