Hi,

I presume your aware that the 4 pin Firewire (1394) connector doesn't supply power, and
you'll need to provide power seperate to the unit. (DC adapter)

Also, you sa "the system doesnt recorgnize" your FireBox, did you try start JACK? Or what
did you do to try it out?

Also: what does the following command produce (prints out if your firewire modules are loaded) :
lsmod | grep 1394

Cheers, -Harry

I have a Dell Studio 1537 which has a 4 pin 1394 connector

I checked to see if my Ubuntu 10.10 upgrade would allow my Presonus Firebox to work

which it allegedly does:

but my system didn't recognize my Firebox after plugging it into my Dell using a 4-pin to 6-pin cable

so of course I'm wondering if I need to buy an ExpressCard Firewire adapter and if that would work

does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this before I trot off to Fry's in search of said adpater?
