Marcia, Well, what is true is that the FACSCalibur does have difficulties to connect to a Mac when the Mac has been restarted while the Calibur is already running for a while... (the time is not really consistent). This seems to be because the BDIO board on the Calibur must run some kind of initialisation routine during which it accepts connections attemps from the Mac, after that - doesnīt work anymore. Only BD knows the details why.. But this is completely independent of MacLogin !!!! Happens with every Mac ! And itīs a BD Problem that they should fix ! As far as I know there is no way around than restarting the Calibur shortly before the Mac...
