Seagate conflict
FireWire Depot has detailed an with new Seagate drives, where using these drives in Master/Slave pairs with Oxford (911 or 922) based bridgeboards. Instructions for correcting the issue were provided by FWD.
Using the Oxford utility:
1) Launch the utility
2) Click the Modify Configuration button
3) Click the Advanced button
4) Make certain the following 3 options are selected:
- Enable GPI
- Detect devices with non-std signature
- Wait 6 seconds before polling
5) Click OK
6) Click Upload changes
7) Reboot your machine and the drives should now appear on your desktop.
"Apparently the new Seagate drives do not contain a recognized signature for the
firmware, so setting this option on resolves the issue."
