Hi all,
I curently own a G4 PowerbBook (OS 10.4.10) and just bought a G5 Mac
Pro (OS 10.4.10). I also have a Macpower IceCube 3.5" 320GB HD with 2
S400 Firewire ****ts.
Currently the Ex HD has no problems showing up on my PowerBook (as it
always has). But when connected to both machines it will only show up
on one or the other (depending on which machine detects it first).
I've called Apple Sup****t, but the only thing they could suggest doing
was reformatting the Ex HD from a FAT 32 file system to Mac Extended
(Journaled) file system. So I tried that, and still no luck - then
they suggested it must be an issue with the thrid party product seeing
that both machines can physically recognise the drive. And from what I
can telll MacPower doesnt have any sup****t relating to this particular
drive.
Looking in System profiler on both machines - They both claim to have
an OXFORD IDE Device which I can only assume is the HD.
Does anyone know whats going on or how I can fix this? I figure if
there are 2 firewire ****ts, I should be able to share the drive on 2
machines... correct?
Here are my specs for both machines:
