Dead Firewrie? - 2009/06/28 14:09 I was using the migration assistant to move some applications from one iMac to another (both G5 2ghz). Finished moving files, shutdown both machines the correct way and now the firewire ports on both are unavailable. I have done an SMU reset, and changed the button battery, and reset the pram, to no avail. . .In system profiler, both machines display NO firewire bus info. I can't get my iSight or external drive to connect.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
