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!
Peter

Hello, I'm not sure about Firewire being ok for Logic Node when something else is already using the bus.

Airport extreme is useless in your case : you will have much lower latency using the 10/100 Ethernet. Just do that and tell us if it works well

Are you running Logic or Logic Node on the PowerBook ?

At the moment, I'm running neither! I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade my PowerBook from 512 mg to 1.25 gig - very expensive - because I'm going to buy the new Logic Pro 7. At the moment I have express 6. What do you think? Will 1.25 gig be enough, on a PowerBook for Pro 6?

Hi, I cannot swear to the accuracy of this, but when I asked apple if I could make one of my G4's into a Logic Node, they informed that only G5 systems can be Logic Nodes. I Run Logic from a G5 in Native form and would like to have added the G4 as a Node and could not get it to work.
Also the computers need to be connected by Gigabit Ethernet and for me that means I would have to update all my network to Giga Bit and that Includes the Routers and Firewall Hubs.

I use Logic on my G4 as Well and run it on Pro Tools Hd hardware, so as yu can see for that I really do not need a G5 node.
As the G5 system only has 3 PCI slots I would have to update all my Digidesign Hardware to HD Accel to get the same TDM performance and then I could use the G5 as a Logic Node.
