    I have two Tecra M3-S331's both of which the firewire at one time worked and I know one of them I can launch Ubuntu and dmesg shows the camera being plugged in but I don't have anything setup for it. In XP though I get NOTHING, nada, zip!

    My wife's Satallite P205-S6237 has the same issue, used to work but now it doesn't. (Vista or XP)

    In fact my travel tecra was working 5 mins ago and then she stopped the tape and rewound it and I heard the windows hardware removal bings happen and that was it... no longer coming up anymore.

    Camera works and cable works on other pc's.

    We can't be the only one having this issue can we?

    There really are no drivers for the firewire... I've tried to update them... I seem to have the latest.

    As stated I put Ubuntu in and dmesg recognizes that I plugged something in, it just doesn't do any more than that.
