I've done several searches about this option and can't seem to find consistent answers.
Is it possible to connect my B&W G3/300 to a Quicksilver G4/933 by firewire? (with the G3 as host and G4 as target)
Also, I have a revision 1 G3. How will I know if I have the reported firewire port problem? I've imported DV footage without a problem so far, so can I assume that any hard drive will also work via the firewire port?
Yes, I have done it- I have a B&W here, as well as G4 tower, Pismo, iMac, etc. The Apple Doc is not necessarily "Gospel" but a valid reference...I thought it might carry a bit more weight than if I told you of my experience directly.
What conflicting reports have you read? Some B&W's have flakey FW ports, but host mode also works with PCI and PCMCIA cards.
Active surplus Queen and John and the last one I bought when I was on location was in a little computer supply store in a mall near the airport for $9.95, so I think if you look around you should be able to find one cheaper then $40.00.
I tried it, and it didn't work. Followed all the instructions 'to the letter'.
What a waste of $15 for the cable.
