Gotta love those long firewire cables!
One of my clients... his wife gave his "computer bedroom" a makeover while he was out of town. Now his HDs are on individual knick-knack shelves, spread across the wall! And each has its own beanie baby sitting on top!
LOL! That would never had occurred to me to do! I'm glad my wife doesn't subscribe to this list...
How long of a cable can the FireWire drives use? I've only used FireWire for camera control so far.
400 Mbps firewire cables can be up to 4.5m (14+ ft) between each device.
The spec says that with a repeater, you can go to 10m (32 ft) long cables, but I'm told that's iffy.
