What’s the manufacturer of the 1394 controler… according to Yamaha it doesn’t work with NEC’s 1394 chips… ?

*** The computer must have an IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.LINK, etc.) connector for IEEE1394 connection. If there is no connector, please install an IEEE1394 interfacecard (PCI or PC). When using a laptop or notebook computer, a built-in IEEE1394 terminal may not be available. In this case, install an appropriate PC interface card. 1394 Chip Set Compatible with n12/n8 IEEE1394 connection with “TOOLS for n” - AGERE FW323-05 - AGERE FW323-06 - TI TSB12LV23 + PHY - TI TSB12LV26 + TSB41AB03 - TI TSB43AB22/A - TI TSB43AB23 - VIA VT6306 *ATTENTION The manufacturer may alter the above mentioned Chip Set without notice. Depending on the change, there’s a possibility of it not working properly with this driver. 1394 Chip Set NOT Compatible with n12/n8 IEEE1394 connection with “TOOLS for n” - NEC D72873GC - NEC D72874GC - NEC uPD72874

Have you installed the latest N8 IEEE 1394 firmware update and latest drivers ?
