Re: Firewire mystery question

... dunno luis, just i'm doing this with my echo audiofires 2 & 12 regularly and the configuration changes i make in one computer are reflected on the other (pc&mac), since
the card is flashed when shutting off the mixer app.

Hi gang,
i have a mystery tale to share:
i mentioned previously that all of the sudden my RME card wasn not working and soon after that my Presonus firebox stopped working as well.
i remeber conecting and reconecting my RME between my PC and Mac,then all of the sudden it stopped working.I sent it to the company and sure enough the FW port was broken.
So then i conected temporarily my Presonus from my Mac to my PC which was working ok,did a gig the next night and the following day presonus is dead as well,so ive sent it recently to the company to get it repair.
Now i got my RME back from repair conected it,updated drivers,turned it on and it still wasnt working,tested it with 2 FW cables,with my PC and Mac but nothing so i called the company and resent it back.
I just got it back today with a letter from the company saying that the card is working perfectly!!
so i am going nuts here trying to figure out what has happened,my question is ,is it bad conecting a FW  card between mac and PC?
the only other thing i can think of is that my FW bus card on the PC is gone bad,but on my mac as well?
Do you guys have any ideas,would it help changing the texas Instruments buscard to another slot or do you think is fried?i also find it hard to beleive that the FW port on my new macbook has gone bad as well and i have no way of testing because i dint have any other cards around,or is there another way to diagnose if a FW conection is bad on both Mac and PC?
thanx for your help
