Anyone using Firewire on their Zeph installs? I don't see much mention of firewire other then many people needing to turn it off in BIOS to get things to work. I'm on an A8N32-SLI board and 1394 is turned on in the BIOS but I get no…

I wanted to make a post covering some of the highlights my install on an A8N32-SLI system. It involved many trials and errors and many hours of research here, at InsanelyMac, and many other sources. I wanted to highlight some of the things…

“Thought I'd put my trials and success in DLed from the usenet groups. First install - missed the customize options - didn't want to boot Second install - Checked appropriate options (New Kernel, VIA drivers, nVidia installer, GUID bootloade…”

“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 T…”

“I'm on Rev 1 as well, agrafuese. What does your About Mac say in the Firewire section? Mine just says "set to 400mbs speed" or something to that effect. I only have one Firewire device (a Sony camcorder) so I haven't determined whether I'm …”

“Is anyone else having issues using Firewire? I purchased a PCI Firewire card thinking that maybe the onboard drivers for nForce4 might not be supported but the PCI card doesn't work either. I also tried a few of Chun-Nan's fixes on Insanely…”

“I was in the same position...that is the only way to make these 512mb cards work properly. If you don't want to flash it, which is a relatively easy and safe fix, you're going to have to find a different card.”

“I have not installed Windows so I cannot confirm but it is known to not cause any issues with windows. See nvinject.fr ee.fr/512Mb.html and nvinject.fr ee.fr/forums/viewforum.php?f=11 for more info on flashing the cards. It was very simple …”

“If it is a 512mb card, what does Darwin show as recognized video ram right at boot up? 512mb or 256mb? I had to flash my 7300GT 512mb card to get it recognized as a 512mb card and to get NVinject to work properly. Rob”

“I'm guessing your problem is tied to the sse2 then.”

“As I asked in the other 512mb video card thread, what does Darwin show as your video cards RAM? 512mb or 256mb? If 256mb, search for my A8N32-SLI, 7300GT thread for details on flashing your video cards RAM so that it will work properly with…”

“The BIOS flashing supposedly does not interfere with operation and performance in Windows. I have not personally verified this though. Apparently this is nothing more than changing a few Hex settings in the BIOS so that Mac OS can properly …”
