imac G5 firewire problem
Hi all
I have a small issue with firewire at the moment
I have a seagate firewire external HD which wortks perfectly until I plug in my firewire card reader, at which point I get the "you unplugged your device without ejecting" error message. the card reader appears and the HD dissapears...
I have tried resetting the SMU but it hasn't helped... problem persists even if I leave the reader plugged in... in that situation every time I plug in a card it ejects the fw drive...
any ideas for a solution??
system profile is below; firewire info below that

Both directly to the iMac Thru a Hub or in a chain?
How are the two devices attached?
