Audio Fire Wire Drive Sometimes Will Not Mount

Intermittently my external audio fire wire drives will not mount when I start up my rig. It is totally random and unpredictable. When they don't mount, I restart my rig 2, 3 or 4 times until they do. At some point they will mount, but it can be embarrassing in front of clients to go through this song and dance. I have tried swapping cables, FW ports, etc. This happens with just about any brand of drive, but I mostly use a combination of a Digi 80 and OWC Mercury Elite drive. All my drives were formatted in OS 9.2.2 (erase disk…).

Thanks a bunch, -Mick
