Interesting things to note: 1.) The hub itself provides ~11.79 Volts across pin 1 and 2 of it's 6 pin connectors. 2.) The powerbook seems to provide about the same voltage, despite that apple's site specifies 25V DC for their powerbook firewire 400 ports: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-G5/PowerMacG5/3Input-Output/chapter_4_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000804/TPXREF107 3.) Without the power adapter attached to the hub, not even the powerbook can connect to my hdd. Connecting the power adapter to the hub solves the problem and the powerbook mounts the hdd automatically. 4.) My friend's dell laptop (the one with the known good 4 pin port) can't detect the hdd while the powerbook is plugged in either. I'm about to give up on the 4 pin firewire port that comes with my laptop. So, I guess at this point I have these questions: 1.) Has ANYONE on this list actually gotten a firewire hdd (or cd-rom/dvd-rom, I suppose) to work with a 4 pin firewire port? If so, what hardware did you use? 2.)
