Hi Tim;
That does sounds like a connection problem, but I'm not sure if it's the cable, the camera connector or perhaps the Mac's FW800 port.
With mine they included two cables, a FW800 to FW800 cable and a FW800 to FW400 cable. You could try it out using the FW800 to FW400 cable and see if that works or not. If it does work, that likely rules out the camera being the the problem and it's either the FW800 to FW800 cable OR the FW port on your Mac.
HTH..

I've been having more trouble than not with the connection to the Flea2.
It seems like if there's any tension at all on that cable, even if the
screws into the camera are tight, that I can't get Astro IIDC to find
the camera.
I'm starting to wonder whether it's the cable after all, versus the
camera itself?
