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

you must have a special ibook, cause the normal ibook has 1 firewire port and two usb. And as far as using more then one device, go for it, just make sure your hard drive has a firewire out to daisy chain other devices.

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

Oh and about your questions: 1. Yes 2. No, as long as you dont exceed the max distance (otherwise you'll have some data drop off)
