Good Morning everyone,

Does somebody have a good reference using simple terms
on how to connect more than 1 external firewire Hard drive
via a PCI firewire card ?

In SCSI we set individual ID's and terminate the end of the chain.

ATA requires Master and Slave

Firewire needs what  ....?????

Nothing.
63 devices on the bus and 16 devices on one branch.
Firewire 400 and 800 can coexist, but chain is reduced to Firewire 400.

USB and Firewire cannot be mixed on chain.

Drives formatted? Partitioned?

Drivers for card installed and updated?


Cheers!
