Fw Interface With Old G4

I have an old G4 400MHz, running old Logic (4.8), using Edirol USB audio interface - I'm upgrading to Logic Pro7 and Panther, I want to upgrade the I/F to allow at least 4 inputs, so I was thinking of the Edirol FA101 or the M-Audio FW 1814. I checked their minimum requirements and it says 700Mhz minimum... does anyone have experience of using a firewire audio I/F with an older 400Mhz G4? Will I be unable to use any Firewire I/F with my old Mac? Will I need to upgrade the Mac before I can get 4 or 6 inputs?

hope someone can help me?

Logic Pro7 - Buy In Us, Use In Uk?

My band mate is working at a college in America for 8 months, he can buy Logic Pro7 with generous educational discount - my question is: will we be able to bring it back to Britain and load it onto our Mac here? Is there any reason this won't work? I can't seem to see any discussion about this anywhere? Can anyone either point me at a relevant item or confirm this will work fine?

Thanks very much!

Logic Ong Goes Silent When Using Second Hard Drive

I just installed a second hard drive for storing the audio files used in my Logic songs, as recommended by everyone who uses Logic - I opened my songs, opened the audio window and moved the audio tracks to a new folder on the Audio Hard Drive. Saved the songs.
But when I try to play a song, it is silent, and the output meters on the left of the track name in the Arrange page are blank..
However, when I open the Audio file in its own window and double click to play, it plays fine...
When I move the files back to the main hard drive using the Logic audio window, again silence. Then I moved them using the Mac system, dragging them, and restarted - bingo! It works fine again.

What am I doing wrong???? I'm moving files using Logic, saving the Songs - the tracks are on the Audio Hard Drive, I can see them, but Logic won't play the Song containing them!!! Please can someone help me, this is doing my head in.....

Newbie Hard Drive Question

I'm new to using Logic, recording my band's album on there now and I've been advised to get a second hard disk for the recorded audio. My questions are: should I buy an internal ATA or an external Firewire? Do I run Logic from the startup drive, and save all Logic & audio files to the second disk? And how much Ram should I get - I have 256 now, in 2 sockets, would I be ok with another 512, or should I scrap one of the 128s in there now and install two 512s?

I have an old G4, single processor, 433mghz, OS 9.1 (hopefully upgrading to X soon), Firewire sockets, Logic 4.8 (again, hopefully upgrading soon). I know this is very basic information I'm asking for, but I hope someone can help me out?
