Daisy chaining on IMac. Any problems?
Does any do FireWire daisy chaining on an iMac (specifically the 27")?
I currently do it on my 13" MacBook Pro. MacBook to G-Drive Mini to ProFire 610 and it works flawlessly. I'm going to replace my laptop with an iMac. Can I expect the same smooth sailing with daisy chaining on the iMac?

Re: Daisy chaining on IMac. Any problems?
I have a FW800 drive attached to my new iMac, with an Apogee Duet chained to the drive. No problems so far. Been using it this way for about a month.

Re: Daisy chaining on IMac. Any problems?
I have a 2007 Imac. I have successfully chained 2 audio hard drives, a 3rd drive streaming BFD2 samples, and a 003R, all from the 800 port, with lots of tracks and plugins.
Be aware, though, that the G-Drives have had certain finicky issues in regard to daisy chaining. If for some reason you have any problems, that's the first place I'd look. |

I have this:
iMac (2008 I think) -> 002r -> OWC bus powered HD No problems

I think Avid should adopt this recommendation if you are using a bus powered drive. This configuration is the only way I've ever been able to use for bus powered stability.
