I would put it in a chain - hubs are notoriously flakey. You may have to experiment which which order works best (2626>drive or drive>2626). Keep in mind that you cannot have any FireWire 800 connections in the chain, as they 2626 doesn't play nice with it.

hmmm right , well my 2626 is 400 and so is the drive and my imac's. howeever, my macbook pro has a 800 port. will this be ok ? given that only the computer bus is 800 and all the other two are 400 ? thanx ! :))
