Group,
I just purchased a 5610 at a tag sale for 40 bucks.Wiped the drive and
installed winxp.Everything works just fine except for the on board
firewire.It is an Adaptec AIC 5800
chip.I've searched for hours and found nothing that works.
Is it even possible to get this working?I 've found many different
drivers,most for win 98,or unspecified.MS site says
any compliant ieee1394 should work natively,it does not though.I had a slot
one 700mhz chip around,that worked.I had an extra 60 gig drive,that
worked.This would be an excellent spare to play with for my digital camera
if only the firewire would function.If not I guess I'll put the 350 chip and
the old "bigfoot" back in it and give it to one of the neighborhood
kids,Adysthemic

What OS? I have a 5600i, which is very similar and XP's native drivers work
fine for the Firewire port.

Tom,
Dunno. The part numbers for the systemboards in the 5600i and 5610 are
different. There's a possibility the 1394 chips are not the same.

Addendum. I think the 5600is came with a Texas Instruments 1394 controller.
I know some in the 5600 series did.
