Hello Folks,
A while back I sold my 800mHz G4 iMac and replaced it with a 1Ghz G4 Powerbook figuring that I could do the same things if not more with it. One thing I didn't think about was the number of Firewire ports. The iMac had 2 and the Powerbook only has 1. What is the best set up if I am importing video from my mini DV cam via Firewire and want to use an external Firewire drive as a scratch disk? I need to have 2 Firewire devices hooked up at the same time. It seems my only options are to daisy chain the camera to the FW drive or to use a FW hub.
I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find any relavent posts.
TIA
Bluto
