Logic Node And Connections, Logic Node and connections Options

[polive]

Hi, I have a PowerBook G4 with built in 10/100 ethernet. Only USB1.1.
I'd like to use Logic Node: I have an audio interface in my firewire 400 port (only 1 firewire port) but can daisy cahin from it - does anyone know how well that would work with Logic Node?
What about if I bought an Airport Extreme setup - would that allow me a fast enough connection to a G5, or any other Mac?
Any help on whether I can make my PowerBook use Logic Node much apprecitated!

This should help...

From the Manual - page 382:

The primary (“host”) computer can be a single or dual processor G4 or G5 Macintosh,
equipped with a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. Node machines need one or more G5
processors, and also need to be equipped with a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port (which is
standard on all G5 Macintosh computers).

It says all you really need to do is plug it in and turn it on...
There are no settings...

Need that Gigabit Ethernet to make it fly right, though...
Airport Extreme is like half the speed of a 10/100 line...

Hope this helps...

If you need realtime treatment help, gigabit is mandatory, I've still to hear about someone who would have used the node thing with ethernet over FW… Now, the connection is supposed to be used only for the node. Now for non realtime, a few people around are using the 10/100 port and it's ok in this particular configuration.

Now (private message for Apple:) what we really need are MiniG5 with gigabit built for nodes…
