This should be a small number, as it is normal for the driver to lose a few buffers when it initially connects and negotiates the correct speed. Check this before and after a recording or mixdown to see if your computer was able to keep up throughout. If this number is increasing each time you check, your computer is not providing data fast enough - try reducing channel count or other CPU load. Configuration Panel This shows the following information about the "far end" of the connection. • Firmware version - The version of the IF-FW/ DM MKII's internal firmware. • Device - the type of the connected device, e.g. DM-3200 or DM-4800. Other Below the 2 panels, the Mac driver version number is also displayed. The Red X close button in the top left corner of the control panel will conveniently quit the application. Troubleshooting General Check cables See if the cable is fully inserted at both the Mac end and the mixer end. Do not use any FireWire Hard Drives on the same bus as the IF-FW/DM MKII. Check that any FireWire Hubs are powered correctly. See the Appendix below about Firewire chipset compatibility. The Mixer's DigitalÆSLOT screen will report "No Cable" in the 1394 Status if the cable is not detected. 34
