But Brian, if your FW port is dead, how can you attach your hub to it? Also, why would a hub prevent a Motherboard port from dying? Respectfully I ask,
You seemed to misunderstand a few things. 1) A FW hub will protect a *good* FW port, not a dead port like the user who started this thread was asking about. I said having a hub would be useful in the future for this. and 2) A (powered) hub will provide power to a PC Card FW port for the user who has the dead FW port on his Ti 500 and those cards with non-powered ports are cheap at places like OWC for just around $30 which is what I myself have for my 500 with its dead FW port.
