Problem with 2 Buffalo external HDDs and Mac Leopard

I did a search and was able to find a "solved storage thread"

But I am trying to access the FTP server as posted on that thread:

ftp://buffalo:buffalo@209.252.83.162/share/drivestation_os_10.5.7_fix/">ftp://buffalo:buffalo@209.252.83.162/share/drivestation_os_10.5.7_fix/

 

But I can't connect to the server (always timed out - using Firefox, Safari, Cyberduck)

 

My HDDs were both bought here in Japan - namely:

HD-CE1.0TU2 (1TB) - can still be detected by Disk Utility but won't mount

HD-HES500U2 (500GB) - cannot be detected by Disk Utility and does not mount

 

I have a Macbook which i updated to 10.5.8 still both HDD won't mount.. Kept my iMac at 10.5.7 in hopes to do the workaround solution posted on the FTP server.. if anyone could please share that file to me I would appreciate it

thanks

I can access it fine.  No timeouts.

 

I also have problems with the device and am running 10.5.8.  I am wondering if I can install the 10.5.7 fix or whether my computer will get messed up.

 

Can someone from Buffalo state whether or not to use the 10.5.7 fix with 10.5.8?  Or is a release in the works.

 

Thank you,

 

Kalani

That fix will only help if you are getting the same behaviors described in the thread:
