That makes sense. Both devices in question are AC powered.
Odd that we used them both for years without fail.
The failures coincided with moving the computer to another location.
We thought perhaps there was an electrical fluctuation, but an electrician confirmed we are receiving 1.21 jigowatts as to be expected 🙂
So it’s an unfortunate coincidence. But good to hear we are not alone.
Odd that aside from the COW, I have seen little from manufacturers about the firewire power dangers, especially the i-link problem.
