Re: Using external firewire drive
by Seth Bloombaum on May 30, 2006 at 4:49:27 pm

Mahesh, daisychaining camcorders/decks and FW drives does not work always. As I understand it, there are two different FW protocols that the deck and drive use, and not all cards run them simultaneously. But many do.

Several ways to deal with this if sharing doesn't work: a second firewire card on a desktop. A PCMCIA FW card on a laptop ($35 USD?). A USB2 drive. I use drive enclosures with both USB2 and FW, but usually have them hooked up as USB2.
