[Rarefaction]

Thanks Brent,
However that didn't seem to be the issue, I've narrowed the crashes down to a randomly occuring glitch when the session is opened. I start playback everythings fine, I stop playback and it hangs. The only work around so far has been to "save as" somthing else and reopen the new session before touching ANY transport controls. Does this new information give you any new thoughts? P.S. the 002 and the firewire drive each have thier own port on the mac (867dp 768MB Ram) Should they be daisy chained?
