FireWire CameraMate
I am using a PCMCIA Card Bus FireWire card in my PC laptop or PCI FireWire add on
card in my PC desktop and I am not getting a drive letter for my FireWire
CameraMate.
First begin by checking "Device Manager" to verify that your FireWire Card Bus card or PCI
add on card is recognized appropriately. You may want to refer to any product literature
provided with the adapter card for information regarding product installation and usage.
Once you have verified that your FireWire controller card is recognized and operating
correctly, make sure that you have connected the FireWire CameraMate to the FireWire
port securely. If you are running Windows 98SE, make sure that you have installed the
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition 1394 Storage Supplement drivers (Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article Q242975) provided on the accompanying Microtech installation
CD-ROM.
If your FireWire CameraMate is still not recognized, or if you are still not getting a drive
letter in "My Computer", the source of your difficulties may be power. The manufacturer
of the adapter may have designed the adapter to receive power from the expansion bus
(PCMCIA, PCI, etc.), but not provide power to the devices connected to the FireWire
Adapter. This would require a self-powered device be connected to the FireWire adapter.
In the event that your FireWire adapter does not provide the desired power to the
FireWire CameraMate, you will need the optional FireWire CameraMate powersupply.
If you require the optional powersupply, please contact Microtech Technical Support.
Technical support can be reached at 800-666-9689 or 203-483-9402 between the hours
of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. For customers in the United Kingdom,
please contact local technical support at +44 118 979 1026.
