Based on a problem we had with a system at Einstein years ago, the firewire board is the problem (or just check the cable is connected properly). BioRad made us order a special board from a company in Australia because they said that it needed to draw extra power (it plugged into the power cables used for the HDs) and the software made calls specific to it. Whether this was really necessary I don't know, but I tried a really cheap firewire card anyhow which did not work.

Hello,
We are trying to refurbish an old Bio-rad Radiance system here at Columbia
and have run into a problem with the firewire system. When we try to log
into LaserSharp 2000 we receive the following error message:
"Failed to get Host Adapter info from PAPI. Contact BioRad support. This
failure indicates that the Firewire driver is not operational. Close
LaserSharpe 2000 run 1394 diagnostic."
When we try to run the 1394 diagnostic found on the computer nothing appears
to happen. We suspect the firewire board is broken and are ordering a
replacement in the interim. We've also downloaded new drivers for the board
and will try them shortly.
Any insights into this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for
reading about our problem!
