Howdy,
I've got a Icecube external hardisk
I have it "permanently" connected to a G4 via apple DV screen via firewire OS 10.3

I also have it connected to a rev A iMac via USB OS 8.6 ( using USB mass storage 1.3.5 extension)

now if I turn on whilst all is connected the disk volumn will only show up on the iMac. to have the disk volume show up in the G4, I have to trash the disk volume off the iMac desktop and then unplug the usb cable
the disk volume will then show up on the G4

Q
Does this mean that USB has priority over Fire wire.
Is this a OS issue or the external harddisk
Is it possible to have the disk volumes showing up in both computers simultaneously and if so, how would I go about achieving that

I hope the above make sense!

thaks for any advice
