External drive Oxford 934 chipset
This is my first post - I trust this may be helpful to someone.
I have a newly installed Pro Tools HD Accel 2 system running Pro Tools 8 on a PowerMac G5. And I have been unable to record or playback from my external drive - always receiving DAE 9131 errors when I record and DAE 9060 errors when I playback existing material. I'm using a G-Tech Drive Q 1 TByte external drive, which G-Tech advertises as Pro Tools compatible - and it probably is for most applications. However it uses the Oxford 934 chipset, which Digi indicates is untested - and I couldn't get it to work with FW 800 or 400 or USB 2 connections on any port - same errors. My Mac says the drive is fine - OS Extended Journaled and ready to go as an audio record ready drive. But Pro Tools won't use it. I finally attached an older (Lacie) drive, formatted the same way, and everything works fine. I'm guessing that Pro Tools is not handling the older PCI-x bus architecture on my PowerMac with the 934 chipset. I may be wrong, but it all points that way. For what it's worth. |

Re: External drive Oxford 934 chipset
I doubt it's a PCIx issue, it's more likely a firewire chipset compatibility issue. If the other drive works fine, the firewire chipset in your computer is fine... I would guess that the firewire chipset in the G-Tech enclosure is either defective or incompatible with Pro Tools.

Re: External drive Oxford 934 chipset
Thanks for the info. I have been wanting to add some firewire drives, as my older ADS cases with oxford 911 chipset don't work with the newer larger drives. I have been using the second internal SATA inside my G-5 PPC, but I need back up solution. Anyone know a good reliablealternative?
I have an HD accel 3 system, so external SATA isn't possible. I have thought about cutting a hole in the mesh of my G-5 to get a SATA cable out of the G-5 for external SATA drives.

Another possibility is that you have it formatted 'Case Sensitive'. Lastly, are you using any illegal characters in the file path - drive name, folder names, file names, etc? |

10-to-1 odds it's the GUID vs APM formatting issue. I've run into the exact same problem on my old G5, it throws -9131s followed by -9060s.
