valelaci Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Ciao, I have 10.7.5 system correctly installed on a D820 nvidia, everything is working but the firewire card is only detected by System Profiler but not working. Is there any way to get it work? The card is a O2 micro Firewire (Vendor ID 1217 - Device ID 00f7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astimoff Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have the same problem and just posted about it. (I beleive my machine is a sister machine to yours and is almost identical ok it might be a D830, can't remember - but mine is the Dell D630). There is supposely a fix to get the PCMCIA Cardreader working. search "Chun-Nan_PCMCIA kext" Theoretically you could then find a firewire card that works with macosx to get drivers etc. Hope this helps in some small way. - Thanks!

Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 26, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 26, 2013 Chun-Nan_PCMCIA kext stopped working after 10.6.8 apple removed 16bit bus support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 26, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 26, 2013 I did some tests some months ago on SL 10.6.8 or Lion. I could get PCMCIA to work but at the expense of networking so quickly gave up. Try a search on the forum, I can't remember how long ago that was but it had to do with some audio or video accessory for a German user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
