Thanks for pointing that out for me, I didn’t know I was off the track with my OS! I will look into it! Problem is that if I upgrade the MC to 4 (that version will fit my OS) the MC software wont run on my “old” computer. Downgrading the OS from 10.5.8 to 10.5.5 then. I have no idea how to do that, but I will probably figure it out. Very many thanks / Kriss

No other devices are attached to the machine beside the Adrenaline via FireWire!
I have the keyboard and the dongle attached via USB.

On my MBP I have MC 4.0.5 installed (3.1.2 on the G5). When I attached the Adrenaline It didn’t ask for a firmware update, but worked fine!

Matthew! When you asked me about the OS on the CPU I come to think of another thing; I have had another OS (Tiger) installed on the same CPU at the same time with Leopard but on another disk-partition. I have now erased the partition. Could that disturb something between MC and the Adrenaline..?

I don’t have a support contract with Avid and here you can see me getting no answers from the “support guys”. 😉

Yes, the Adrenaline box works fine on the PC. Now I have also tested the Box on my MacBook Pro and it works perfect!

My OS on the PowerMac G5 is 10.5.8 Leopard.

I have tried all FW ports thats available on the CPU. Including the FW 800 port. Same result, no connection!

Matthew.
Thanks for answering, getting kind of desperate here, and the Adrenaline is collecting dust…

Yes; the MC version (3.1.2) on the PC was the same as on the MAC, when I updated the firmware.
Yes; I used the same cable.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the answers!

Actually, I can’t figure out what slot configurations is/means. I feel like a real rookie here ;-(, but it seems to have something to do with an extra FW-card.

I have plugged the Adrenaline Box, via FireWire, directly onto the back of the CPU. No extra card added.

It didnt when I attatched it to my PowrMac G5. But the PowerMac G5 have had problems with updating the firmware to the Adrenaline, so I successfully updated the firmware via a borrowed PC.

The Adrenaline then worked fine on the PC. I then put the Adrenaline back on my PowerMac G5 system. AMC starts up as software only and does not recognize the Adrenaline.

Hmm. Do you mean if the FW port is broken??? I don’t think so, FW-drives used to run OK.
Now, the Adrenaline is the only device attached to the internal FW bus.
