Dear All
I have acquired a P45 (non plus) back for my Hasselblad 500c and want to connect / tether to a MacBook Pro 2019 with USB-C connection, running High Sierra 10.13.6 - the back is not powering up nor connecting via cable despite powering the FireWire connection.
The back works however - it powers up with battery, and I can take photos on the CF card, but it is still not recognized by the computer / cannot tether, which is my goal.
The previous owner has used it tethered to an older laptop which had a FireWire port. I do not have such laptop, but I have a powered FireWire repeater (Unibrain 800). However, the P45 does not power up via FireWire.
Do you have experience on how to troubleshoot?
What should the laptop display? Should only Capture One recognize the device, or should the laptop too mention a new device?
Thanks!
Cristian

PS This is my set-up:
- the Unibrain FireWire 800 Repeater (https://store.unibrain.com/shop/fir...aters/firerepeater-800-3-port-1394b-repeater/)
- the recommended Power source 12V (https://store.unibrain.com/shop/fir...peaters/accessories/power-supply-adapter-12v/) recommended for the repeater - this lights green, so it has power
- 1x Unibrain 10m / 33 feet FireWire Cables USB 6 pin to 9 pin to connect the back to the repeater
- 1x Unibrain 2m / 6.6 feet FireWire Cables 9 pin to 9 pin to connect the repeater, thought the Apple FireWire to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and the Apple FireWire to Thunderbolt 3 adapter to the MacBook 3' USB-Cs port
