104 Powering FireWire devices on the the FireWire port of an ExpressCard/34 card.May-07-09
The Sonnet FireWire/USB ExpressCard/34 and the FireWire 800 Pro ExpressCard/34 do not provide 12V power to bus powered FireWire devices. The cards have a 12V power input connector to provide FireWire power. If additonal bus power is required, Sonnet's World Travel Power Adapter (http://www.sonnettech.com/product/f2acpoweradater.html) provides sufficent power to drive external FireWire devices.

Note: 12V power should be connected to the FireWire 800 Pro ExpressCard/34 card before a bus powered FireWire device is connected, or the device may not mount (until it is disconnected and reconnected). Also note that 12V power MUST be unplugged from the FireWire/USB ExpressCard/34 and the FireWire 800 Pro ExpressCard/34 before the card is powered down from the computer menu, or a system error may occur.

There is a bug in the Apple ExpressCard driver specific to 10.9 (and 10.9.1) that prevents ExpressCards from initializing in the MBP 6,1. We have reported it to Apple and expect Apple to fix it in a future release. In the meantime, we have a patcher for you.

Download the Qio System Installer here http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=402&expand=_a3&action=b496#b496

When you get to the installation type, click \u8220 Customize\u8221 , deselect everything but IOPCIFamily, and click \u8220 Install\u8221 . Restart and all should be well. When Apple updates the ExpressCard Driver, it will overwrite the old driver with the Sonnet patch, so there will never be a need to uninstall.
