Bravado DV 2000 problem
By Rogers - usenet poster
If this has already been answered, pls forgive in advance.
My daughter has been using a Bravado DV 2000 at school (Dell system of
some
type) with a Sony Digital recorder (VX-1000) with no problem. She is
now
trying to put it into her system at home and gets I/O Stream errors when
trying
to transfer video to her system. She has a system built from an A-Trend
ATC-6220 system board (Intel 440BX) with an Adaptec 2940U2W and
Seagate 9GB Cheetah drive. I have tried any number of configurations
with the BIOS, Windows 98 Hardware device configurations, etc., all
with no luck and, so far, all without disabling the basic functionality
of the machine. My next plan is to change out the motherboard to a
board with the next upward Intel chip set -- any suggestions?
Any help will be most appreciated.

I use the same FireWire board on my system without problems, and can offer
limited advice. Note that the Bravado DV2000 is the same board described as
a MotoDV or MotoStudio board at the # site. You may
find more detailed configuration advice there. The BX chipset is entirely
up to date -- I use an old TX chipset without issue. Reaching back to the
early configuration issues discussed here when FireWire boards first
appeared, I would make the following generic suggestions:
- disable any active network connection & shut down any background tasks,
especially virus scanning;
- pull any PCI boards occupying slot one, put the FireWire board in slot one
& any other boards 'downstream', especially SCSI adapters;
- review your SCSI configuration carefully, and be aware that EIDE drives
using DMA are plenty fast enough to be used as capture drives -- a system
configured with all peripherals using SCSI _except_ the capture drive is
entirely adequate & maybe easier to configure;
- confirm that you are using the latest BIOS, running DMA mode & no IRQ
conflicts are apparent;
- remove any USB connected devices if you are having 'late interrupt'
problems;
- pull your soundcard out and see if it is the source of conflict -- the
sound card serves no function in FireWire transfer/editing and some cards
use too many IRQs and don't share resources well.
If you have time, pulling everything but the core system and getting the
FireWire board working before re-installing peripherals is probably the most
reliable course of action. The particular error you describe 'I/O stream
errors' is not one I'm familiar with, but 'late interrupts' and consequent
aborted transfers are the usual sign of a DMA problem, an IRQ conflict or a
device/software resource sharing issue.
Good luck,
GB
