1394B!


Macally PHR-100ACB

At the end of last week I ordered two 320GB hard disks and a Macally PHR-100AF FireWire 400 (1394a) disk enclosure so that I could handle all of my backups straight through my PowerMac G5. Well, today I received the parts and while the outer box had the right labeling on it, the inside was the PHR-100ACB, a combination USB 2.0 / FireWire 800 (1394b) enclosure, along with all appropriate cables. Seems like there was a mix-up somewhere. Whoops!

I don’t mind, I just hope that this doesn’t mean that there is a mixed up package elsewhere and someone else will inadvertently receive an enclosure which is a bit less than they had hoped for.

    Great luck! Maybe you had some good karma coming :)

      :) Only problem I’m running into now is general shittyness with OS X and external FireWire devices. Or, it may just be the old enclosure. I can reliably make finder hand hard, though.
