i dunno honestly, but it cannot hurt, plus, your uploads will be alot quicker!!

so you really cant go wrong there;-)

do you have the firewire cable??

its really easy to install actually, just plug it in and let your comp search for the new connection

Cheapest one I could fine in town was 36 dollars, so I went to ebay and scored one for 10, hopefully this will solve things.

It may not fix it for you.  I get the same thing sometimes on firewire.  I have 2 possible fixes

1. don't touch your pc while transferring - if I start doing stuff it's more likely to fail.  Maybe the JB3 doesn't do well if the pc bus gets busy

2. this is weird but consistently works.  Record a few seconds of nothing on line-in.  Stop, get out of record mode and then try again.   No clue why, but it has consistently worked.  I haven't had to do this since the most recent driver update but give it a try.

i am having this problem again. not touching the pc at all while transferring, last night i even yanked the wifi card to see if that helped.

i will try the second suggestion dave had above, and see if that works.

not sure which driver i'm using (playcenter is not installed, just notmad), but my firmware is 1.40 - and i had similar problems with 1.32

i had a 'firmware problem' the other nite, out of nowhere, i just had to reload my OS, but it was weird, i hadnt touched it since i cleared it for moedown, pulled it out, went to turn it on, nothing, only showed the rescue mode screen, it was weird

[TeamJa]

Isn't there a difference between USB cables, also?  I was under the impression that you need a good USB 2 rated cable.  Maybe a shit cable is bugging up the works?

How much was the card you bought that you needed to pawn old tools???

mine just started to so this, this past weekend.
I needed to empty the contents onto disk for a festival.
It would upload a few tracks (maybe 1gb -2 gbs) then after it was done uploading
a track it would then disconnect.
I would close the center out pull the usb cable and then reconnect the jb3.
Everything synched back up and I would repeat. It did this several times.
I thought it might have been overheating since the JB3 had about 15+ gbs of music on it.
I flipped the JB3 over and proceeded again.
It still did it to me so I am not too sure either.
Nothing changed in my setup other then I moved..
I am just glad I was able to get 3 or 4 tracks up before it would disconnect.
I had too many things to do, to babysit it all day.
I don't have firewire yet but maybe soon...
Oh I might add that after I wiped the drive clean and recorded this past weekend
I then xfered those shows onto the hard drive and it did not give any problems at all.
So maybe the drive was too full and it was just heating up?
I have not ever had a overheat issue out in the field so I am not sure about that either..
