Coming in late on this thread….did this get sorted? If so how?
I am experiencing exactly the same situation as David and it’s driving me crazy!!!! Including the external HD being dumped when Z1U is connected in a daisy chain? Yet not being recognized via the ‘About this mac’ route when plugging in directly to my MacBook Pro.
Have read numerous links and discussions on this subject – including the popular iLink setting but no one seems to have come up with an answer or solution.
It’s a hired camera I’m using, so can’t comment on it’s connectivity history.
Any help greatly appreciated.
