Hey all:
New member here, with a question. I've got an iBook 500 Mhz that I am going to make the heart of my studio setup. In looking around at various interface options I'd like to go with a firewire unit so as to potentially record more than two tracks at once. I am also going to buy a firewire hard drive to supplement the puny little 9 gig drive in the computer. In doing this I would take up both firewire ports. Anyone have any experience using both firewire ports simultaneously on an iBook, one as an interface and the other as a write-to drive? Any problems encountered doing so? Thanks Carlos |

Thanks for the reply. A day after I posted the original question I was looking at the iBook and realized I had my ports confused. Of course there is only one firewire port.
But thanks for your answer. Sounds like I'm able to use a firewire interface with an external firewire drive provided that one of them at least has a firewire port on it, correct? Would it make any difference which one is closest to the computer port in the chain? Thanks, Carlos |
