Firewire, or IEEE 1394, ports allow for daisy chaining, so as long as you have another Firewire ports on either of the external back up drives, all you have to do is plug it into one of them. I too have a 1.42 Ghz eMac and that is what I do. All it takes is a standard Firewire cable to connect one to another. I believe you are allowed to daisy chain up to 7 before you are required to have a hub, but not sure about that part. Garth In a message dated 2/1/2009 1:44:08 P.M.

Hello, I have two firewall ports on my eMac , which I use for two external backup drives. I'd like to add a third drive. Is there any way to do this cheaply? Thanks for any help past and present.
