Epox Tech need help badly

[pitt1717]

hi,
im an owner of 3 epox boards. Love em all which is why i keep buying them. anyway my problem is with the 8kha+ and the AIW Radeon 8500dv. The firewire just won't work. I emailed epox support and i have a thread over at AMDMB.com about the problem.
The reason i am thinking it is a epox problem is that an article found by another member came across the same problem with the same motherboard.
i am actually hoping its an epox problem, cause the support has been great and i would rather rely on you guys than ATI.
well here is the thread in the AMDMB.com forum with the link for the article as well.

Please clear up (without linking 3rd parties forums) the firewire device that is causing this issue.

i have an ATI all in wonder radeon 8500dv in which the capture does not work. I tried multiple different things like drivers clean installs, etc.
first install (winxp clean) capture lasts 20-30 sec (major artifacting) then stops. At this point i can still control the camcorder but now i get no video (not until a restart). If i use my audigy firewire, everything works perfectly.
I then tryied disableing ACPI and assigning irq's but with the same result. I tried all the lastest drivers, ATI, Via etc..... no luck.
I then reinstalled now i get about 5 sec worth, still artifacting. That was with nothing installed but the radeon, No sound card no nic. I also used the ATI drivers on the cd and the Via drivers from XP.
I also tried lowering agp in bios, and all other AGP settings. no luck. There is one other guy having the same problem as me on .rage3d.com but he has a turtle beach s/c.
I also noticed a dip switch box on the card. 1 dip is set to on and one to off. i tried with the both in the on position still no good.

the article from extremetech.com states which is exactly the same problem im having:
"Here we hit another snag with our Via KT-266A-based Epox 8KHA+ testbed motherboard. We were able to have our Sony DVR-PC5 digital camcorder be recognized by Windows XP, and we could drive the camera's transport controls (play/pause/rewind/etc.), but we could not receive an incoming video or audio stream coming from the camera. Apparently ATI's Agere 1394 PHY/Link chip and the Epox motherboard's BIOS just couldn't get along. To verify that ATI's overlay driver wasn't broken, we installed a second FireWire card that uses TI's PHY/link chip, and it worked swimmingly. We did however have success doing digital captures on the upcoming HP Pavilion that will use the AIW DV."
i know you don't like third party articles, but in case you want to read it, the direct link is here:

I can read the 3rd party articles now I'm using a modem rather than my mobile phone's IR connection on my PDA !!

This I will try to replicate in some way in the office when I get a chance tomorrow.

EPoX Tech, I think he found the same result as you on that test.

I think he wanted to get it working through his Radeon though...

Radeon AIW is a piece of equipment we don't have here to test unfortunatley.

is there any possibility of you getting this video card so it can be tested? this video card was a big investment and there is no reason why it shouldnt work together with the motherboard...hopefully its just a software issue...you would really make a whole bunch of people very happy if you could get this up and running...

thanks
