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... |

I had the idea to connect the firewire 410 to the lacie (using firewire 400) and the lacie to the powerbook (using a 800 cable). It's working perfectly for me. I don't know yet about the latency but it seemed unchanged. I just learned something about my laptop today. Hope it can help.
