Greetings, and thanks to everyone who makes MacMusic happen!
I apologize if this is redundant, but I've searched the forum and I've searched the Digidesign support pages, all to no avail.
I just purchased an MBox 2 Pro with ProTools Le 7.3 to run on my MacBook Pro 2.16 Core 2 Duo. Since the MacBook Pro has two firewire ports, I'm wondering how best to connect the firewire drive. Should the MBox 2 Pro go in one port and the drive the other, or is it better to daisy chain the MBox 2 Pro and the drive, and, if so, in what sequence? Does it matter?
Thanks!

I have used an M-Audio 410 and I know that M-Audio suggested it would be best not to run a FW daisy chain with an external FW HD hanging off of it - so I would suggest using your two FW ports for best results
