Thanks AB...I've tried a few different cables now. I started testing it with my Windows laptop last night but I didn't get it setup all the way (slow laptop and too little time).

From looking at discussions on InsanelyMac, it appears that Texas Instruments chips are the best to use on Hackintoshes. That's good and bad I guess since the A8N series boards have TI chips on them.

I've ordered a used SIIG card that is TI based off of eBay to see if that works.

Agrafuese, did you change any kext out after your initial install? I've updated and swapped so many kexts I don't remember what all I've changed. I have yet to play around with the BIOS settings to see if I can wake those ports up.

Anyone else out there with an nForce board using onboard Firewire?

Thanks again for the help guys.
