I've been dredging the google all day for an answer on this, and it seems noone has conquered this. As I understand it, the firewire support for FC7 onwards has changed, and all the howto's cover the old methods of using eth1394. Can anyone tell me the new way of doing this? All I want to do is hookup 2 mc's using the firewire cards - one FC8 and a WinXP box. Cheers _________________________________________________________________ It's simple!
