Sorry – I guess I was unclear. The FW PCMCIA card was needed on my XP laptop. The Hackentosh is a desktop – it has an integrated mobo FW that works fine with the TC Konnekt Live.

I’m not deep into the Hackentosh tech. I specifically chose a mobo and other components with which others already had success. My naive understanding however, is that any card that works on a genuine Mac should work with a Hackentosh. As to where you might find an appropriate kext, I have no idea.

I have the same card and can’t get my laptop/hackingtosh to recognize. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jmo

I am happy that you found a solution for your Konnekt Live. Interesting that we both had problems on ThinkPads, which have TC’s recommended TI FW chips. Also that a cheapo non-recommended Via based PCMCIA FW card worked for both of us.

The Hackintosh I built as a means of evaluating whether I’d be able to live with my primary machine as an OS X machine. I’ve decided I’m going to get a MacBook Pro.

Like you, I run a variety of OSs – Linux, Solaris, Win, now OS X. I like the fact that OS X is built atop BSD. And frankly current Mac laptop hardware seems heads and shoulders built better than anything in the Windows world — at any price.

I just bought another (cheaper) PCMCIA card (via) .. and it works! ;)

So you’re not using integrated IT firewire?
Buying another card will do?

I have R50e thinkpad and just bought IT pcmcia card.. and have problems with it.. I cannot run that card on any system with any service pack and any drivers.

Hackintosh post seems cool also.. I could give it a try but I like having multiple operating systems.. I work under slackware, do music in my XP or 7 and if it can run with multiboot – then it will be my choice for live stand!
