Got my Yamaha i88x. Having some problems


Recommended Posts

First I'd like to thank Eric Dahlberg for hooking me up with a great deal on this interface + Cubase! I know where I'm shopping the next time I need something ;)

 

I have some problems, but I suspect it is my Acer Travelmate 8103 and not the interface.

I loose the firewire connection for no apparent reason after a while. I'm pretty sure it's my computer because the same thing happens when I use my external drive with firewire. I use usb with the drive now.

 

I'm clueless. Maybe I need to buy a pcmcia FW controller?

If you're having the same problems with external firewire disk drives, then I would definitely suspect the FW interface on your laptop and not the i88X. However, I'd start by making sure you have all the latest drivers for everything - including the i88X of course, but also for your computer's firewire interface.

 

If that fails to cure the problem, then yes, I'd look into a different FW interface for your computer.

I'd make sure you check over on

for info on compatibility and model suggestions.

 

I'll see what Acer has to say first. This computer is only a few months old and there's no reason why a standard external drive from Western Digital or the i88x shouldn't work with it.

I hate when I have new gear I can't use.:mad:

 

No chance that there's some stupid setting somewhere that is wrong or something?:p

 

Thanks anyway ;)
