I went to Apple: More Info: Firewire and all that it says is “Firewire Bus” and then underneath it “Built in Hub” and then “Unknown Device”
It says this when I have nothing plugged into the Firewire ports.
When I plug in the deck, same thing. Nothing changes on the firewire screen. Even when I plug in an external harddrive into firewire port the harddrive shows up on my desktop but the “Apple Info/Firewire” screen remains the same.
