High track count errors, Sync i/o problem?

[IndreStudios]

My PT rig is acting strange and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem...

When I try to record between 40 - 48 tracks at once (split up equally between 2 Glyph FW400 drives), I'm really slamming the drive buss on the system usage meter. It usually hovers at around 75-80%. No plug-ins, no eq, nothing but recording.

Now here's the weird part, when I need to be the time code master on a session - and choose to generate using my Sync i/o, it will hit even higher on the drive meter, roll for about a minute before it stops with a -9073 (firewire too slow error)

HD 2 - PCI
PT 6.9
OS 10.3.9
G5 1.25ghz single proc.


any ideas?
