> There's a fascinating discussion going on over at Macintouch about bad > Firewire ports. A friend had the FireWire port on his Sony Camcorder blown out for no apparent reason. (TiBook 400 MHz) Sony repaired the Camcorder at no charge but returned it with a note saying that the PowerBook port was the culprit and that Apple knew about the problem. He then talked to Apple and Apple sent him an entirely new ( and faster :))) PowerBook. My TiBook 400 never had any issues at all with my Sony Camcorder, but mine was a very late-production 400, purchased just before the 667 model was announced.
