PCI 1394 card not communicating
Dell decided that the Firestorm PCI 1394 card was blown and replaced it. I ordered an ADS PCI Dual Link card because of its USB 2.0 capability.
Now, I can't get the sytem to use any of the 1394 ports on either card. The USB 2.0 ports on the Dual Link work just fine!
THE CARD WAS INSTALLED, AS I ALWAYS DO, WITH ONLY ?EXPLORER? AND ?SYSTRAY? RUNNING.
Then:
1. Shut down and pulled the ADS
2. Restarted in Safe Mode & deleted ALL references to 1394 in Device Manager
3. Installed the ADS, ? NO JOY
4. Pulled ADS
5. Redid 1. & 2.
6. Installed the Firestorm card, ? STILL NO communication with the 1394 ports on either card.
7. Redid 1. & 2. &3.
Device Manager shows:
1394 Bus Controller?/?TI OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
General: Working properly, exists in all profiles.
Settings: None checked
Driver: Microsoft (06/08/2000)
Resources: Use automatic settings, IRQ:10, no conflicts.
