Is it possible to link a series of FireWire 800 external harddrives together the way daisy links in FireWire 400 works?
PC to HD1, HD1 to HD2, HD2 to HD3…

Never gets old.. ;)
Thanks for the summary though. If I wasn’t on this touch device I wouldn’t have been so lazy :)

I’m just jealous because my FW port on my Macbook is bust. Going into the Apple store tomorrow.
