using mbox 3 pro with firewire hd
hey guys, i just bought a brand new Mbox 3 pro on ebay for $250 to replace my old mbox 2. im happy with the deal but i realized i have a problem. My iMac only has 1 firewire 800 port, and i want to connect the mbox pro and my lacie external audio hd (only has firewire 800) into this single port. i know there are ways to daisychain and convert 800->400 but i have no idea how to do it and it what order. The hd does support usb 2.0 maybe that is ideal in this setup? thanks
specs: Late 2009 imac 3.06 GHz (4x USB 2.0, 1x FW 800) Lacie Quadra 1TB Hard Disk (2x FW 800, 1x USB 2.0)

Re: using mbox 3 pro with firewire hd
You should be able to connect the Mbox to the computer with a FW400-FW800 cable, or use a FW400 cable and an adapter. Then daisy chain the hard drive off the Mbox.
