CAUSE ===== This problem can occur if the Ohcil394.sys host controller driver does not retry busy devices enough times. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q260910 How to Obtain the Latest Windows 2000 Service Pack The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later: Date Time Version Size File name ---------------------------------------------------------- 06/14/2000 02:58 PM 5.0.2195.2096 36,848 Ohci1394.sys STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2. MORE INFORMATION ================ Devices that communicate as specified by the IEEE 1394 specification can respond to requests from the computer with a "BusyX" code. In this case, the device is busy, because of hardware limitations or software interactions in an early generation of the 1394 chipset. Support for BusyX retries is defined in the IEEE1394-1995 specification and is important for successful computer-to-1394 device communications.
