Hi Milton,

I`ve done some more testing & the Scorpion & Flea 2 will open  

simultaneously through my Unibrain Firerepeater 400 on the Mac Mini as  

will the Scorpion & DBK 21A...Over on the iBook the Scorpion & DBK  

will open simultaneously but not the Scorpion & Flea 2. I guess the  

power is lacking for the FW 800 to 400 converter cable on the iBook  

through the hub.


It has NOTHING to do with the FireWire 400 / 800 cable. The iBook powers the Cameras and The Hub. As I said previously, as long as you have power coming from the iBook it will not draw power from the Hub with it's AC/DC adapter. That is how you fix your problem.


If you stopped and read the messages I posted on here, you'd realize that I already told you what you need to do to power both cameras off the Hub instead of off the iBook.


And No I don't recall what message it was and Yahoo has crippled searching in the Groups with their incompetence. You'll have to step through the messages to find it. I may switch to Google groups in the the new year as I (and others) extremely tired of writing up big explanations and discussions on things and Yahoo not being able to find them.


Lastly, I'm out at the lake "supposedly" on christmas vacation and only have sporadic dial-up up 1 kilobyte per second. So sending me 500+ kilobytes files winds up in me just deleting them.


Later..
