Ok, this may be a dumb question but...
I've got an external drive with both firewire and USB connectors.
Is it possible to connect two different machines to the drive at the
same time? Or is that begging for trouble?
More like demanding trouble. Few operating systems are designed to
use HDs that are being used by another OS simultaneously. It's
possible that if the drive were partitioned and each computer used a
separate partition then it might work. Then you'd only be asking for
trouble instead of demanding it.
That's assuming the drive would even work on both interfaces at once.
