Hi,

I presume your aware that the 4 pin Firewire (1394) connector doesn't supply power, and
you'll need to provide power seperate to the unit. (DC adapter)

yep -- DC connected via wall wart

Also, you sa "the system doesnt recorgnize" your FireBox, did you try start JACK? Or what
did you do to try it out?

also yep - and nada

Also: what does the following command produce (prints out if your firewire modules are loaded) :
lsmod | grep 1394

here are some commands with output:
--------------------------------------------------------------

lsmod | grep 'firewire\|1394'


xt_limit                1394  7
firewire_ohci          21042  0
firewire_core          46643  1 firewire_ohci
crc_itu_t               1383  1 firewire_core


======================

lspci | grep 1394

I have a Dell Studio 1537 which has a 4 pin 1394 connector

I checked to see if my Ubuntu 10.10 upgrade would allow my Presonus Firebox to work

which it allegedly does:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/33

but my system didn't recognize my Firebox after plugging it into my Dell using a 4-pin to 6-pin cable

so of course I'm wondering if I need to buy an ExpressCard Firewire adapter and if that would work

does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this before I trot off to Fry's in search of said adpater?
