The Firewire port is built into the motherboard. I un-
and then re-installed it. Told the PC to look for a new
driver. Ended up where I started.
The information I copied is this: IEEE 1394 Bus host
controller. Location PCI bus 3, device 3, function 3.
Driver revision 5.1.2535.0 date 7/1/2001.
It worked fine for about three weeks, then just stopped.
I have been looking all over the Internet, and it seems
like this is happening to a lot of people with firewire
cameras - not just those with Canon products.
Thanks for helping me try to solve this mystery.
