Help Please
I have the new macbook pro and I've got an expresscard with 2 FW 400 and 1 Usb port. I would like to buy the apogee duet what needs the power from the FW port what the expresscard doesn't have. On my Fw 800 is running my external hard drive. My question is ,can I use a general power supply what can give 12 V or do I need a special one? I'm a touring musician and I'm in the UK right now and I didn't find anyone how could give me the answer. In London in the main Apple store they even didn't know what is the the Oxford Chipset  .................... anyway.Thanks everyone |

Your External Hard Drive should have a Firewire In and a Firewire Out (for lack of a better term). Most do this so you don't lose the firewire port when you add a Hard Drive. I have a similar setup and I run my Fireface 400 off the Firewire Out from the External Hard Drive and it works great!
