M-audio says not to run a fw HD thru the same port it's connected to, so a FW hd is out of the question unless it does work in practice. Are there any other solutions?

i just followed the installation instructions...

m-audio tell to plug you card as your computer is running which is risky because G4 models previous to the Quicksilver (included ?) don't have a protected phy and chances are that the fw ports will either been deactivate or killed by such manners.

fact is that when they release their products they rely on current Apple computers specifications and didn't read the old gears ones, well old, i'm not talking G3 here...

1-m-audio do not follow Apple specifications
2-there are no warning about that anywhere in the documentation
3-when your fw ports are killed they leave you in the dust
