I have been using this firepod with my dell for almost a month with no problems. Suddenly today I turn my computer on and the light stays red. I tried re-installing drivers, different cables, I hooked it up to a G4 and the G4, which the pod had worked on before could not find it. I tried a different firewire card, ports, and even a thrid computer, when it gets to where the computer wants me to turn the firepod on or connect it, I just can not find it. The Firepod has not been moved, dropped or mistreated at all. It has not been unplugged or anything.
I teach a class with fireboxes and firepods and this is my 3rd presonus device to not work. I had a firebox come in the mail new broken. If there is a fix please tell me but for those of you interested I am currently very very disappointed.
Here are the specs on the dell, I no its not great but it has run the firepod fine for a month.
