I am having a hardtime setting up my firepod for my XL2 and GL1 to be tapeless, I was told there were 3 steps to follow, but the manual says nothing about this, can anyone help?

Chris,

This may sound silly, but the first time I used mine I failed to move the firewire to the computer port from the camera port.

Then, (and they put this where it is hard to find on the page before the hook up page, and don't explain it at all!!) you have to go into HDD mode, go to DD and press select. This brings up the connect screen and tells you to connect to the computer and then press enable. It will connect then just fine. When removing it, be sure to follow the directions there about exiting etc.

Hope that this helps, and if not let me know. A very poorly written manual in my IMHO.

Mike
