Advice - Looking for FW 800 pc express card

Hi all,
Am looking for advice re the PC express FW800 cards out there, want to get one to use with my MBP core 2 duo 2.33 17".
I have used a Belkin one (someone else's), which seemed mostly fine, didn't require a driver or anything like that. However, I did find that I couldn't use it 'hot-swappable'.. or at least, it was fine to insert the card and start using it when the MBP was already on. But when I tried to remove it (after switching it off from its control panel), I got a kernel panic a while later.
So I did some research and have found that there's also a Lacie one on the market, which has two 800 ports and one 400. It says on the Lacie site that it's hot-swappable, so if they claim this I would presume you should be able to insert and also remove the card without the machine freezing up. I couldn't find however if it needs a driver or not, I'd prefer something without one frankly, as it seems like that might mean less could go wrong..
Anyway, any advice or experiences (especially bad experiences!) are most welcome.
Cheers!
btw thanks to everyone that gave me advice on swapping out my MBP's internal drive recently.. I ended up doing it myself (following the instructional vid on youtube) and it went very smoothly. The new drive (a Seagate 500GB 7200rpm drive, the one without the dodgy conflicting anti shock thingy) seems to be working perfectly.. No noisier, the drive itself is physically a little lighter than the old one I had, and I've been monitoring the temperature and it seems fine. Perhaps there is a tiny bit more of a drain on the battery, but not much, in any case I already had a 7200rpm drive albeit a smaller one, so it shouldn't change it all that much. Anyway, thanks for the tips on installing it myself, it was a good thing to do.

I have a SIIG two-port ExpressCard that works well, and can be hot-swapped with no problems. The SIIG cards can use an AC adapter to boost the bus power to the port (if you have devices that need a substantial amount of power from the bus).

NitroAV FireWire 800/1394b Express Card (34)

After some foot dragging by FireWire direct, today I finally received the NitroAV FireWire 800/1394b Express Card ordered almost a month ago.
First Impressions: Unimpressive at best.
According to the FireWire direct rep, it is supposed to work using the Mac OS built in drivers and require no additional driver....
Upon first insertion, my MacBook Pro promptly went into a kernel panic.
NOT a good introductory performance!
Upon restart, I did get the thing to work, "sort of".
First, it requires AC power even with a 2.5" external drive meant for bus power. Bummer, but so be it. However, less acceptable: it is VERY fussy about sequence, reminding me of evil SCSI voodoo rituals from the past century. Seems it only likes to work once- if I remove the card, it requires a reboot to recognize anything attached to it subsequently.
Functionality is intermittent. Sometimes I can mount and unmount a drive several times in a row, sometimes just once before it fails to recognize the drive and requires another reboot. One drive it took a long time to recognize but eventually it did- only to freeze up rock solid soon thereafter requiring an uncomfortable long push on the power button to shut down- nothing else worked. That drive was a known to be working Lacie, the first a known to be working WiebeTech and both are totally reliable on my G5 and previously completely reliable on the MacBook Pro using the integrated FireWire 400 port.
Unscientific results so far show a modest speed increase transferring a few large files, nothing like double the FireWire 800 speed hoped for. In any case if it ain't reliable it ain't gettin' used. Hoping for a driver solution in 10.4.7? (Wishful thinking)
No one likes a fussy device, much less one doomed to corrupting directories with that kind of behavior. I'm disappointed with Apple for omitting the FireWire 800 port on the 15 inch model and leaving us with this cheesy "solution".
I am not a big fan of dongles, or things like Express cards which are just asking for trouble by introducing intermediary third party connectivity issues exactly like these...
Oh yeh, and the little metal door on the Express Card slot tends to hang open and not snap closed- just to add insult to the whole process.

Well, after two days of use I have a bit of data regarding the NitroAV (and Apple's implementation of ExpressCard/34).
First some general observations: like bigwheel, there are a few too many rough edges to be fully pleased. After inserting the card, a menu bar icon appears next to the Airport icon. On mouse over, the drop down shows "Unknown Vendor" and "Firewire Controller" are greyed out, while the 3rd "Power off Card" is selectable but does NOT power down the card. Looks like I have to shut down the MBP, then eject the Nitro card.
I also can confirm intermittent unmounting and remounting. My latest experiment is to leave the drive mounted and then have it wake up after sleep. So far it's worked once, but will post if it continues to find my FW 800 drive over time.
One major design flaw of the ExpressCard implementation - to engage the card you push in until it clicks, while to disengage the card you merely push in a second time. But how are you supposed to ATTACH FW800 cables?? I find I have to try to hold the ExpressCard firmly so it doesn't go in while fumbling with the FW800 connector. WAY too fussy...
OK, here's some actual test data, involving transfers of 1,000 MB of files (147 Canon RAW files, approx 7 MB each).
I used three hard drives for various transfers -
1. Internal stock 100 GB - 5400 rpm (TOSHIBA MK1032GSX)
2. FW 800 / 400 500 GB - 7200 rpm (Seagate 3500841A in OWC Mercury Elite case)
3. FW 800 / 400 250 GB - La Cie 7200 rpm drive
All test are transfer of 1 GB of files from HD to HD-
Test 1: Internal to FW 400 - 68 seconds
Test 2: Internal to FW 800 - 65 seconds
Test 3: MBP built in FW 400 daisy-chained - 54 seconds
Test 4: Nitro FW 800 daisy chained - 43 seconds
Test 5: Nitro FW 800 port A to Nitro FW 800 port B - 43 seconds
Test 6: MBP built in FW 400 to Nitro FW 800 - 35 seconds
So it looks like there is some speed increase, but I was surprised that mixing the FW 400 and FW 800 ports gave the fastest transfer speeds! The Nitro card is dependent on Apple's implementation of buses, and this seems to be the winning combo. Not that intuitive that shifting one of the FW 800 devices down to FW 400 will speed things up, but that's what my simple test seemed to imply.
I didn't test read times only, but it would seem that these should speed up (and hopefully speed up my primary application of Aperture).

Looking for a good TV Tuner card.

Hello all,
I'm looking into getting a good TV tuner card that will work for cable and satellite (if possible). I have Rogers cable and a unused Starchoice Satellite dish that I might use down the road.
I don't really know anything about TV tuners, so, I would appreciate a few suggestions on which will work good with my rig and cable or satellite.
Or do you guys think I should go for the ATI All-In-Wonder graphics card? I do play games like FEAR, Quake3, Dark age of camelot, etc...
Or stick with the geforce 7800 GT + TV tuner option?
Thanks for any advise you can give me
Alex

as you've posted in the MSI TV tuner forum, we're only going to give advice on MSI products here
personally, i'd always stick with a seperate VGA card and TV card solution
if you're looking for a good analogue capture card, and picture quality is important, then maybe a hardware MPEG2 capture card, such as the MSI Theater 550PRO-E is the best choice for you
as your board has PCI-E 1x slots, this is an even better choice, as PCI cards can sometimes encounter lack of resources on newer PCI-E boards, especially SLI boards

Firewire 400 and 800 PCI Express Card Question

I just put in a Firewire 800 PCI Express card in my Mac Pro. If I add a Firewire 400 PCI Express card also to my Mac Pro will the 800 card work as in 400 speed due to the PCI Express 400 card being added to the Logic board?
Thanks!!
Sky..,

Each card operates independently.

Adding Firewire 800 PCI Express Card to G5

I wanted to add a Siig Firewire 800 3-Port PCI-express card to my G5. One of the requirements was connecting a 4 pin power y cord to an available 4 pin power connector for reliable power output. I can't locate an available 4 pin power connector in my G5. Is there one available? Where is it? Which slot is best for the installation?

#1 zapping PRAM/NVRAM has to be from a cold start, and done thru 2 reboots (don't need to go crAZy with 3-5).
#2 Open Firmware is thorough, efficient, and can be done on any type of startup.
#3 "reset-nvram" - as I mentioned above, should be first step in hardware troubleshooting or anytime after changing hardware and getting a kernel panic on first restart.

Looking for a replacement postscript fax card

I have a legacy apple laser select 360f, with a postscript fax card that appears to have failed. The printer works almost as well as the day it was purchased, back in 1994, and has output 153,000 pages, which is just 3,000 pages over the halfway mark towards its originally declared minimum life cycle.
i am interested in hearing from anyone who might have a replacement postscript fax card for this printer, for sale.

Less oppertunities for compressors in Logic Express compared to Logic Pro?

Hi there,
I'm running on L-Express also. I had a conversation with a guy this afternoon who is running Protools.
We've tried to put some compressors on my created track. In protools he could let a compressor follow the beat of the bass drum and put that effect on, for instance, the hi hat so that you could create a nice pumping sound. We've tried to look for it in Logic Express but unfortunatly we couln't find it.
Is this also a difference between Logic Express and Logic Pro?
grtz,
Lewis

Hey Lewis,
I believe you must be talking about a multi band compressor, that you can use High or low pass filters, the one in logic Le isn't, you just have one in AU from the system.
Logic Pro has multi band compressor and then some!
Anyway, Logic Le compressor has some presets that can help you click on arrow tool (in the compressor) and you have presets for Vocal, Instruments,Drums ie: Kick drum - Double punch.
Give it a go.
cheers,
Jorge

Looking for hardware (PCI Wireless LAN)

I'm looking for a PCI Wireless LAN card that will work well with Linux, does anyone know of any place that documents this sort of thing? (as in a list)

Euphoric Nightmare wrote:Okay, just figured out i can't use pci, because there are no slots available...fucking dells...i'll have to look at some other options
I think it's other option, singular - as in USB? I recently had to switch wifi to USB myself, when my laptop's card slots died. After a bit of research, I went for the prism2 chipset with the wlan-ng driver - specifically, the Netgear MA111. It's all working fine now, but in retrospect, I'd probably go for something that works better with wireless_tools.
AFAICS, there aren't any stable drivers for 802.11g over USB - madwifi may or may not do it, depending on Atheros, prism54 is trying, and they have pre-alpha stuff available for the brave/foolish, and there's also the zd1211 project on sourceforge.

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

Hi Jessica,
No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

Looking for a better graphic card. Need feedback and suggestion

I'm looking to get a different graphic card but I'm not sure really what to buy,
These are my computer specs
Computer: Gateway Gt5228 Media center edition
OS: Windows Xp
Current graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI Express Slot avaliable
I was wondering what would be a good graphic card that is a good significant upgrade. I'm looking for one that has a significant increase over what I have right now, it doesn't necessarily have to be the best out there.
I want to be able to play a game call Diablo 3
These are the High and low Performance, that the game will run with.

thank you

Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Powerbook Titanium user looking for advice on MacBook Pro

Hello, all,
After almost 10 years of faithful service, I'm afraid that my 15" TiBook is showing signs of age and may soon need replacing. For financial reasons, I can't spring for a brand-new, top-of-the-line MBP, and I was wondering if you had any advice about what I should look for in a reconditioned model from the AppleStore. Aside from basic functions like emails and web, I'd be using it primarily for the Adobe Creative Suite (no animation or any really heavy stuff) and for watching DVDs when away from home. How do you feel about the glossy screens, for example? On the French AppleStore, there are a couple of MBPs from early 2011, but I'd seen that there were concerns with the temperature/fan noises… I realize that almost anything I may buy now will be light years faster and more powerful than the 667 Mhz that I have now, but I'd like for the replacement machine to be as impervious to ageing as the PB has been.
Any and all advice would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.

My suggestion since you prefer to maximize your computers lifespan is to get either the new:
1: High res, anti-glare 15" 2.2 Ghz or above
2: High res, anti-glare 17" 2.2 Ghz or above.
(The 13" MacBook Pro is integrated graphics, the 15" 2.0 has a dedicated graphics card that is as weak as the integrated graphics. Both are very poor choices for the long term.)
The two models I've mentioned have the top of the line i7 Quad cores that simply blow the dual cores away in every way possible. The 1GB Radeon 6750M GPU is a monster video card that will satisfy ANY need you have for a long time.
If your trying to save money and going for a used dual core i5, your doing yourself a great disservice because those machines are soon destined for the scrap heap.
I opted for the anti-glare because with a laptop it's a necessity unless you live in a basement or a cave.
The glossy forces you to seek dark locations to see the screen because it reflects dam near everything, even your face.
Some people say to get a aftermarket anti-glare film, but those are expensive, they dry out, peal and bubble, not very nice looking and need occassional replacement.
You will not give a flying ratts *ss four days later if you don't have a snazzy black bezel, your going to want to use the machine as intended in nearly any location. The matching case bezel is just wonderful and the new anti-glare (not ugly matte like before) screen is of a higher quality, looks fantastic being able to see every inch of the screen all the time.
You can do a Google image search for "Mac glossy anti-glare" and get hundreds of pictures for your decision making process.
The new machines are easily opened up to add more RAM or switch out the hard drive with a 00 micro-phillips screwdriver and a plastic compartmentalized holder to place the screws in order so the right ones go into the right holes. Won't void your warranty as long as you don't do any damage. Don't strip the screws.
Do get AppleCare and a good case, even a MacTruck.
Use the keyboard and trackpad as little as possible, use a wired or wireless instead to keep the wear off the machine.
Keep the keyboard area covered and away from food/liquids, it gets behind the keys easily and will fry it.
If you use the keyboard and trackpad, take off any jewelry and use a pad protector as you'll wear the case and 3 years from now it will look ugly as sin.
Snow Leopard is a great OS, Apple plans on major changes in the next one to make OS X look like a iPad, you might not like it. The grumbling has already started.
So get a Snow Leopard machine now with the iLife on the installer disks while you have a chance, a few weeks from now you might not have that option as all new machines will be forced into Lion.

Looking for some advice dealing with Kernel Panics

Hi there! I'm looking for some help regarding constant kernel panics I've been getting on my machine. It has been happening pretty regularly for the last month or so, occuring sometimes three times in one day and other times none. I've been looking to see what might cause the issue and have thus far come up emptyhanded. I can't think of anything I've modified recently that would be causing the issue. I performed a hardware test using AHT and no errors were found. I've included both the most recent report from the panic as well as the EtreCheck report. Any and all advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The likely culprit:
The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
Possible other causes are the software that installed these:
com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector          1.5
com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer          1.7
com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard          1.5
com.avatron.AVExVideo          1.7
Now they may be causing panics because the try to use acceleration in the GPU which leads to the panics. You are unlucky to have a particular model that has a real problem with this.

Looking for some advice on what to do about

So I have a macbook pro - late 2007 model I guess
2.16 core duo(just before the core 2 duo's i guess)
2gig's ram
ATY,RadeonX1600 256mb
My problem itself is in 3 parts
1.) My battery fried late 2008(have it running off the adapter since) and I was wondering if my model will fit with the 2008 model batteries? If so do you know how much it would cost(cdn dollars if possible)
2.) My video card is from what I believe to be ruined/terrible shape. I've been using SMC fan control for awhile to sway the overheating, and it helps but I believe the damage was already done while I did not have it active while using my computer for games and other various things(MBP's seem to run insanely hot?)
I will be calling the apple store i bought it from tomorrow but I was looking for some advice on any type of diagnostic tests I might be able to do to test my video card as well how much would it cost to replace(assuming you can't upgrade much in a laptop)
3.) Wondering your opinion on the overall value of the computer with the replacements/without.
It appears to run perfectly fine though sometimes when program's open up I start to see tearing and pixel's looking crazy all over my screen(assuming a fried video card)

You can buy the battery design for any old MacBook Pro models (not the unibody). MacBook Pro from the first to the last generation uses the same battery. It cost $129 (not sure how much it cost in Canadian but probably a $20-$30 premium). As for your graphics card, Apple has a one price model for all hardware repairs ($310 or something around there and converted to Canadian probably around $350 to $360). I think you should get it replaced. The only test that I can think of is to re-install the OS and see if the problem occurs, if it does then its most likely a hardware issue. There is no standard test that's widely available. With the replacement I think the computer values in the range of $1800 to $1500) and without the repair I would say about $1350 to $1000 at best.
