How to have DVDRW inside the studio while Mac out

[diegogat]

Hi guys,
I'm sure someone has solved this puzzle already.
I want to put my noisy G4 outside the control room but want to keep easy access to CD or DVD bays.
A can do it with an external drive and a long firewire cable but... is this possible?
Is there any other way?
thanks, as usual.

1. Cut a hole in the wall

or

2. Have an operation to extend your arms to 20 feet long.

FireWire 400 max cable lenght is 32 feet without any reapeter, and high quality cable from Granite .

Yeah, and add a little sign "Noise, keep out", right?

anyway, 32 feet is enough, I guess.

thanks

32 foot firewire cable out of the firewire 400 port on my G5. Actually I have G5 firewire port to hub, hub to DV Deck and Hard Drives in machine room and 32 foot cable from hub to AIT2 and CDR in Control Room: totally works. It was flaky on my G4 Quicksilver.
