I have just bought an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile audio interface which uses the normal Firewire 200 port on my Powerbook G4 and a Lacie external hard drive which connects throught the Firewire 400 port. When I access both, the Audiophile eventually disconnects and I have to reboot. As I have placed all my sound files on my external hard drive (this is why I bought the thing) I am constantly having to access it and I cannot actually continue like this. Has anyone else encountered this problem and could anyone suggest some solutions? Could I convert my Audiophile Firewire cable to USB (does such an adaptor exist?)

Many thanks in advance,

Russ

P.S. I am using Logic Express 6 if this makes any difference...

Can you try the Lacie on the 400 buss, and put the M-audio on the 800 buss with a cable that converts to 400?
My buddy does that and it works.
