    Hi all,

    I am trying to use a Sony XDCAM PDW-F70 with an Imac 24″, 2.1ghz / 2006 model. The deck is in iLink mode (PC REMOTE!) and not recognized by disk utility, XDCAM EX Tool, or my copy of Avid Media Composer 3.05. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Greg

    I believe there was a recent firmware update for that machine. Lots of us with PDW-U1 drives are waiting for our turn.
