Topic: ff800 with macbookpro i7 and old g5 mac

hello i have just purchased a macbook pro i7, but i also have this mac G5 dual core, my ff800 is running on the g5, past days i tried to connect the ff800 to my new macbook pro and i encountered this firmware update issue, some kind of message regarding update of my ff800 firmware for the new macbook pro.
my question is:
if i do this firmware update do you think i will have issues on the G5? will ff800 still work on the old G5?
thanks!

What is the exact message you get? The new firmware should work fine with older drivers.

Just install the latest FW from our website. To the very best of my knowledge, the older driver works well with new firmware.
