I use a PowerBook G4/400 MHz and would like to create a home studio. I have a good mic with a jack and intend to buy keyboards with a Midi connection. How do I configure things so that I can use the FireWire port instead of the USB? Does anybody know? I know Yamaha makes an interface but I read that it's not compatible with the G4. Can anyone confirm that?

I would recommend the MOTU 828 firewire interface. It is loaded with inputs and outputs that are only matched by the Digi 001. Its a bit pricey at $700 but when you compare the flexibility to other options... its really not that bad of a deal.
