And of course I didn't buy Applecare for it because... I've NEVER had problems with a desktop Mac. Heckfire... I've got a G4/Sawtooth still running !
Thought it was the OWC (OK, Newer) Ministack. Rebecca at OWC was happily ready to send me an RMA. But I thought... hmm. maybe it's the cable ? Nope... still didn't work. Maybe it's the port on the Ministack ? Nope, both ports don't work. Hmmm.... Happened to have a Thunderbolt to FW800 adapter around. Aaargh. It's the FW800 port on the Mini.
Well, I can limp along with the Thunderbolt port for now. I just hope this isn't a sign of increasing decrepitude.
Off to try Yosemite, now that I have a backup !
