Hi team, any of you good folk had anything to do with running firewire into their mac. I have been having sooooo much trouble with the dam thing. I have just purchased a Phonic helixboard 12 which has been running kind of ok'sh with my g4 eMac running OS X 3.9. But now it has xxxxxx out completely and is feaking me out with error code I cant find on the net. They told me mac was easy and stable,all computors = pain in one form or another!!!!, help i just to play and record, not fight with all these sneeky little 0's & 1's.

well... whats the error code?

Have you been plugging and unplugging the firewire device while the mac is on? While the device is on?

Do you have applecare on it or any other form of warrenty?

oh wait.. eMac... those are pieces of ****...

You probably fried the mainboard hotplugging the firewire device... or it's just being an eMac... which is sort of the Windows ME qualiy equivilent. If you can take it back do so... nobody wants an eMac...

but answere my previous questions to see we can get it working.

It's like saying most software will run in windows and then trying it in ME. :)

eMacs are not 'Macs' per say... they are 'educational' Macs... designed for schools... and well... ever go to the Mac lab at a college? See anyone? no? It's because eMacs suck so horribly they shot the iMac into the marketplace in hopes people would forget... sort of like G3's... one of the few personal computers to face a recall...
