My computer is acting really weird when I turn off my Firepod. It hasn't always done this though.
I've had the Firepod for a little more than a week now (I think), and I keep it on a second power strip with my powered monitors. The reasoning is I can turn them all on/off with the flip of a single switch, which is nice when I'm not using the audio stuff.
Today I got my firewire external hard drive which turns on and off with my computer. The Firepod is slaving off the hard drive. (I only have 1 Texas Instruments Firewire port.) Everything works great when the Firepod is on but if I turn it off ,my computer will slowly start locking up. Applications stop responding until I just turn off my computer manually. Task Manager won't work when this happens either.
Then when I turn the computer back on (with the Firepod off) Windows won't load.
If the Firepod is on, Windows will load and run completely fine.
WTF?
EDIT: To add to the weirdness, if I don't have either the hard drive or the Firepod on, it works fine. My temporary fix is to keep the hard drive on the same power strip as the Firepod. That way they both will only turn on at the same time. I only use this new drive for recording anyway, but it would be nice to use it all the time for all my storage.
