[QUOTE="Spooky, post: 829213, member: 11539"] Well, I now tested it on a different cable from the PSU (on the cable before there were indeed a couple of Hard Disks and a fan), but it still did not work. I then tested it without connecting any hard disks to the PSU (so basically only the Motherboard was connected, plus the FloppyDTV), but it still did not work. At first I even thought, that the sequence was not the correct one and I feared it's completely bricked may be. But I let it run outside of the system, to inspect the LEDs closer and sequence 3 does indeed occur. ~3 seconds red LED, then the green LED flashes very, very, very, fast and faint and then almost a second where no LEDs are lit and then the whole sequence again. As it turns out I have no spare PSU lying around (at least not a suitable one) unfortunately. Silly me, the simplest way to test it, is to simply hang it into another PC of course ;). I just did that (without connecting the FireWire cable, for testing), and it did indeed work in another PC (LED was green after some time). It seems my FloppyDTV exemplar is not "getting along" with the 5V (?) lane of the PSU in the designated PC (without the cable-mod). [/QUOTE]
