I am having trouble with a Saffire FW sound card. I've used it successfully for a coupe of weeks, but now my Mac shuts down when I connect the sound card. Other FW sound cards are working fine as well as other FW devices (LaCie external drive, PowerBook in traget mode.) The Saffire also works fine with the PowerBook. I have tried both FW ports as well as three different FW cables. Could this be a problem with the power consumption from the FW port on the Mac? Has anyone had an experience similar to this with FW devices that are bus powered? Is there an easy way to run a diagnostic check on the firewire ports on my Mac?
