YES. i just ejected a lacie firewire drive (attached with 800 cable) that was not in use, fired up fcp and it works.
there appears to be a correlation with firewire (lacie only?) drives that make the capture not possible when it’s plugged in. audio feed and video video is being passed “through” but not in the capture window until i ejected and restarted fcp. works like a charm with the “unneeded” 800 firewire NOT plugged in.
