I've daisy chained two My Book Pros (FW800) and they're working happily - have you tried that?

That was the first thing I tried - when one drive was plugged in, everything was fine. As soon as the second was plugged into the chain (or into a FW400 port) both drives disappeared from Disk Utility and refused to show up. I had to restart the G5 to reset the FW bus to get one to show up again.

now that's funny.

and, uh, this guy wanted to be president? i'm pretty sure that one of the requirements is that you can get at least one thing done in a day. i'd bet there is a budget proposal for 1963 somewhere on that desktop...

hahahahahaha.

A few things have changed since I posted waaay back on page 1 --

got rid of the CRT & 15" Studio Display and replaced them both with a 20" Dell 2007WFP. Also ditched the M-Audio Delta 44 and replaced it with a MOTU traveller, and generally cleaned up a bit:

We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

Update on my computer setup. The setup below no longer exists in this form. The structure holding all of these monitors is in the trash. I am in the process of replacing it with a new setup. Hold on to your britches, because it is going to be awesome when it is finished.

The LCD's and all other electronic equipment has been salvaged. Just the structure has been trashed.

Ok, here is the new setup. I've been working on it for a couple weeks, and I have a lot of work to do still. Including all the finish work. It's coming along little by little.
