Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to connected multiple
Firewire devices to a PC running Win XP either via daisy chaining or
via a multi port Firewire card?
I have a Panasonic DV cam and LaCie external drive (both Firewire). I
can connected both to the PC happily via Firewire until I try to
connect both of them. They are both seen in MyComputer (I get the XP
ping) but when I try to capture in any package (I've tried both
MovieMaker2 and Premier Elements 1) the package hangs after a period of
time. In each case I've had to hard reset the PC.
I've applied 2 hotfixes from the MS KB (885222 and 885464) to try and
resolve the problem but without success. Before I applied the hotfixes
I got a blue screen referring to 1394BUS.SYS driver; since then I don't
get that but have to hard reset. It also seems to screw up my wireless
LAN/internet connection.
I've read lots about Firewire problems in XP and various fixes, but
none that seem to apply directly to this problem. What I haven't seen
is anyone who can actually do this successfully in XP.
Here's the specifics;
Hardware: Dell Dimension 5100, Windows XP Pro SP2, Panasonic NV-GS150
DV cam, LaCie d2 Triple Extreme 500GB disk. DV cam and hard disk
connected to PC via built-in Firewire card.
Device Manager says everything working OK. However, event logs show up
Disk error 51 (An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D
during a paging operation) which was supposed to be fixed by the hotfix
886454.
Any help or advice gratefully received.
