why yes, it is possible! It's called "Firewire target disk mode". Connect two macs by firewire (one turned off) and start it up holding down the "t" key. That mac then becomes an external firewire drive to the one that is on and appears as a drive on the desktop. Sometimes you can also use the optical drive of the slaved mac too.
I do this all the time to transfer files between my Powerbook and OS 9 iMac which will not network via Ethernet without significant effort.
But once I did have a problem. The powerbook was the slave and it (the powerbook) decided to shut down randomly during a small file transfer. I had to rebuild my directory using techtool deluxe, but everything works now, no hardware problems.
This M-audio firewire thing sounds nasty. Good luck guys.
