Of course about firewire which is notorious. PCI was 44 but i may be wrong
ATTENTION: You must shut down your computer any time you wish to
connect or disconnect the FireWire 410 from the system. Failure to do so
may cause damage to your computer’s or FireWire 410’s FireWire ports.
NOTE: Do NOT connect the FireWire 410 to your computer until you have run the installer application and shut down the system.
Hi Andre,
I'm sure you've read the long thread in which GaryN and others helped me for weeks in trying to get a FW410 working with OS 9.2.2 on a G3 iMac. My FW410 unit works fine in OS X and Windows, but never any success with OS 9.2.2. I'll search through the forum every so often to see if someone's come up with solution, but I don't have high hopes.
ОК let me start over: DID ANYONE SUCCEED
to say that it just doesnt work is obviously not correctI hate to nitpick…BUT: A careful reading of that SOS review reveals the author was testing the unit on a PC and only a PC.
the product was reviewed in many differnt magazine publications
https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/m-audio-firewire-410
obviously it worked at that point in time and should be able to work now
if it didnt work in os9 they would have reported that fact as the article above
explicitly mentions macos 9.2 and the box itself says 9.2.2 right on it so obviously it did work
Gary I just noticed your replica and yes I have tested it on dual boot machine. Works well on Tiger, not working on OS922 Works great on Lenovo notebook with Sierra Hi Sierra dual boot.Thank you Andre! Believe it or not, I think you're the first person who has been able to do this.
So lets live alone any hardware related bets.
Perhaps one thing is missing: I should sacrifice a black lamb perhaps.
Thank you Gary. Since its hard to believe that M-audio released a non working driver, but let's face it. The most reasonable thing was said but macStuff anyway. Mystery will be resolved as soon as we find somewhere unused card with a virgin firmware. For me it's more a question of curiosity not such a big needActually, it's a frustrating thing to have such a unit – which would be a fabulous thing to have working for all of the people who run OS9 DAWs on later G4s and such – dangling promise in your face and then giving you the finger.
I had to use another configuration for the tests about the FW AP
A FW 800 to 400 cable as DieHard told us.
That config worked last year but after updating to latest Win 10 and MacTell have screwed the chance to run Mac OS 9 on it
again.
Well, looks like original install discs might become a premium item.
does anyone have a copy of the original driver cd? (photo attached)
