Jake, This takes someone much more knowledgable than I. I would have thought with all units being new world Macs and all running Panther, that the FW drive would be accessable and would appear via the host Mac. Some utility app may facilitate the processes, or a Firewire hub might allow all the computers equal access. I have no doubt one or more of the more knowledgeable persons on the board will have a solution. Don
