Default Fireport Won't Connect

Got a used Fireport earlier this year from ebay and sadly didn't get a chance to try it out until now...and it won't work. It fires up, has power, powers the drive, but the software always says that it can't see any drives connected.


Have you tried another Firewire cable? Could be that, while the leads
that provide power are OK, but there's a break in one of the data wires
or a bad connection at the connector. Both the Mac and PC (from at
Windows XP on, though I don't know about Windows 10) have Firewire
drivers so unless there's something odd about the Fireport, there should
be no need for a special driver. But with an obsolete product, one never
knows.
