Nick, thanks for sharing that. I have a setup with some similarities running on a TiBook 1 GHz and wasn't sure whether the FW drive would work properly if connected to the 896, I had conflicting info on this (I actually have a 828 MK2 but I assume it will be the same). You say the 896 is upset if hot-unplugged. I haven't noticed problems with the 828. What does happen exactly? Apart from that, is the system stable? Or do you experience occasional problems? My desktop setup is: FW to the MOTU 828 MK2 audio interface, USB to unpowered cheap hub to which I connect the Apple Pro Mouse, Logic Pro 7 dongle, Emagic EMT8 USB MIDI interface, Beringher BC2000 Control Faders. Planning to add a 20" Cinema display soon and the FW drive. Stable as a rock, until I upgraded RAM, that is. Had to go back to the original stick... But will need to upgrade nevertheless from 512 Mb. I print via airport to a USB printer hooked to the Lombard (hard-Ethernet to WL router -> cable modem) and I also run mini-jack audio out to the mixing desk for casual listening without having to fire up the 828. So only 4 cables to the 'book, not too bad! cheers, gianfranco -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
