Firewire enclosure + Pioneer DVR-A06

TN_S wrote on 2/28/2004, 10:04 AM

I've been using an internal DVR-A06U with DVDA with no problems. I recently removed it and placed it in a firewire enclosure. Now, DVDA will not recognize it. Right now I'm doing the burn step with Nero because it does recognize the drive.

I know this model isn't on the supported drives list, but if it works internally, seems it would work via firewire.

Has anyone had any success with a setup similar to this? Any suggestions on how I might get it to work with DVDA?

Thanks

I have an A03 in a firewire enclosure and DVDA works with it just fine.

Ditto with an A04 in an ADS external enclosure.

I've got an A06 in a firewire case and DVDA works with it fine.

The case (made by NewTechnologies) has got some issues of occassionally not being found when plugged in, but once the drive is seen it works flawlessly.

Would you mind letting me know what the entry for your drive looks like in your device manager?

I expected mine to show up under "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" but it is under "SBP2 IEEE 1394 device"

The entry for the drive reads "SBP2 Compliant IEEE 1394 device"

Nowhere is it recognized as a DVD drive, much less a Pioneer model.

FYI - this is on WinXP SP1.

I see an entry under DVD/CD-ROM Drives which says:
"NewMotion Tech 1045-00 IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device"

NewMotion is the maker of the firewire bridge in the enclosure.

Thanks for your responses.

Ok, stupid mistake...my drive was set to slave.

Moved it to master and everything works.
