I have this firewire enclosure, will work in win xp pro with 40 gig maxtor but not the west dig 120 gig i first tried on it.
So it works, but i'd like to find the brand name and get a firmware update for it and drivers for 98se if needed, as i would like to install this to a win98se box i keep going for a printer and scanner.
Outside casing: Outside casing is opaque plastic, almost clear, and its got 4 blue-grey rubber feet on it.
Front:
Front is opaque grey, kind of like a light black even, with a clear on/off button on it on the right hand side.
Inside casing is metal, top slides off with some effort.
Back:
Left to right is: power, then fan, then two firewire connectors, then 2 audio connectors(chrome with white and red inserts)
It also says "FAN" right in the middle of the fan (I know, duuhh)
Numbers:
on the back: 0147 OWCMFW5R (the 5 could even be a S maybe)
stickers on back: made in China CE
Inside: TT 535FX10147HC1K0017 also 911R1.0
On the green board that services the ide connector: 000B533 290601 01281 3537-2053
This board has only very small capacitors and even smaller chips on it.
There is another green board, thats the one with the big caps on it, its got a piece of metal covering it and i would have to take it all apart to read some numbers, except i got this:
MODEL: APD-9507-P5 I think this may only be a winding, possibly, but its got its own plastic covering, the shrink type sort of.
I found a sticker tucked way down inside and under and peeled it off. This gave me: REXON TECHNOLOGY CORP
google gave me this: This gave me part # CA-805PFW1
The part number led in turn to only one place, here:
I emailed them, they returned my email but will give no info at all, all they can do is order a new one for me and wont give me a bit of info at all.
Code: CA-805PFW
they are in new york INWOOD NY toll-free 1-888-437-3329
It appears that it is the oxford 911 chipset, which i have heard is the best. If i recall when i installed it in win xp it said it was an oxford 911
Now i need to know if win98se will install this on its own or do i have to find the win 98se drivers for it.
Plus, i would still like to find the name of this drive so i can try and find a firmware update so i can use a larger hard drive.
So does anyone recognize this enclosure and can they give me any more info?
thanks
