firewire has a loop capability like usb normally external units have
2 ports which allow to loop through,
my powerbook has 1x fw800 & 1x fw400, to use my 800 port i bought a
800 to 400 conversion cable, on this i connect up to 10 harddisks &
at the end i have my 16 channel audio recording rack connected......

Hi folks
Recently bought a nice 24" iMac (the other one failed - logic
board) and I'm frustrated by not having two Firewire 400 ports. It
does have a Firewire 800 port but I don't have any peripherals to
fit. I understand that there is an adaptor made by Sonnet that you
can plug into the 800 port then plug a standard 400 cable into it.
Does anyone in WA stock such a thing?
Cheers
Mike
