Wonder if anyone else has this issue - If I have my firewire cables plugged in - either one 800 or one 400, on bot only one of my two displays comes on. I then have to "detect displays" a few times to get the second display to come on.

If no firewire cables are plugged in, both displays come on at boot.

Ran multiple hardware tests; no problems found. If the firewire ports are using so much power that the monitor doesn't come on, is this a hardware design flaw??
