Some Lacie FireWire Drives (purchased after 6/03) have firmware that is not compatible with the Focus FS-1. It is possible to “back-rev” the firmware using the Lacie Silverlining software. A Silverlining update is available at: ftp://ftp.videonics.com/Pub/FireStore/LaCie/ . Once loaded, follow the flash firmware instructions. By down rev-ing the drive firmware to version 1.36, the Lacie drive will be recognized by FS-1. NOTE: By down rev-ing this software, your drive may not operate properly with Mac OS10.3. ***PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF APR 2006, NEW LACIE DRIVES CANNOT BE DOWNGRADED TO THE REFERENCED FIRMWARE. PLEASE SEE NEXT DOCUMENT ABOVE, CURRENT DRIVES TESTED ON FS-1.
