RED Rocket problem

[Bildhavet]

Hi! I have two Mac Pro cheese graters: one 2.1 and one 5.1. They both are helping me with RED M/MX material and yes, I am still running those dinosaurs, as they are the best.
Suddenly the card in the 5.1, running Mojave, did not show up in REDcine. I have not been using it for while, thus not Shure there might be updates installed automatically, causing problems. However, I brought the other card over from the 2.1, running Snow Leopard,and it worked right away.
I put the card from the 5.1 into the 2.1 and it showed the same message in Redcine = no card in #0 position at start up and the software confirmed "no card installed" etc.
The card is appeasing the OS X hardware test and driver seems to be installed correctly.
Whe I try to install new firmware, however, the following response is show in the terminal window.

Truncated a bit...
