daisy chain firewire

MessageAuthor

Hi, i like alot of us here are eagerly waiting for leopord support as i am wanting to trade in my g5 powermac for a macbook or macbook pro. as the macbook only has one firewire port i was wondering if anyone had much experience daisy chainging an external harddrive with a 002 and if it caused any hinderance to operation in any way. i really dont want to have to fork out the extra cash for a macbook pro just for an extra firwire port. cheers.

I have not tried this yet, but have been wanting to take my own 003 Factory out in the field with my Mac PowerBook and external drive. So here's a possible idea (untested): The MacBook has a FireWire 800 port as well as a FireWire 400 port. Connect your 002 into the FireWire 400 port and your hard drive in the 800 port. Again - I've not tried this, yet. But it seems that this would work. Keep us posted!

hey thanks guys, i knew you could do the daisy chain thing but was wondering more if it affected operation in any way, latency, errors etc.
