Alan,

Sorry to hear about your camera problems.  

I'm curious, earlier Saturday evening it looked like early Sunday morning would

be good for Saturn imaging here in Toronto but after midnight the seeing seemed

to deteriorate (about the time I packed it in after imaging M1 for 6h).  Did you

have any luck with the mono ccd?

Quoting Alan Friedman <alan@greatarrow.com>:

Hi Milton -

The firewire port seems fine - communicates with the DMK41AF02 and my  

external firewire disks too. Just the DMK21BF04 is silent.

thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan;

Did you try any other FireWire device or perhaps a different Mac  

with the Camera? Just in case it's your laptop and not the camera?

Apple's track record for x86 Intel for FireWire has been pretty  

crappy and sometimes the FW ports go dead. They can sometime be  

revived by pulling the PRAM battery or zapping the PRAM to reset the  

ports. For PowerPC resetting the Open Firmware usually worked too,  

but that isn't an option for x86.

HTH..

Thanks for the reply, Alberto - Yes, [sigh} I tested with several  

cables.
