Macbook Pro USB connection compatibility?

[Muzick]

Any success using:

USB mouse
USB data entry keyboard
USB ilok

on a Macbook Pro (late 2008) running PT LE 8.0

I currently have external monitor out the mini dv monitor port
have a FW800 to FW400 cable to Mbox 2 Pro
SIIG expresscard with FW400 audio hard drive


I thought maybe there was some issues with all that USB stuff running. OR bluetooth mouse and keyboard?




ps as a quick second question. what do you think about running a sample/loop hard drive off second SIIG FW400 port and leave the other audio drive for session data only?

What issues do you have with this configuration?

No issues. I dont run this yet. I am looking for other success stories before I purchase a USB mouse and USB data keyboard.

I am basically looking to use my Macbook Pro as a "desktop" when I am at home....ie external monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.

I thought I read somewhere that running these USB devices either slows PT performance or, worse, is simply not compatible.

Advice?
