Hello Nathan, we at Boinx know of this problem very well. Our BoinxTV customers always want multiple cameras connected to one computer. The problem is, that the firewire video stream is somewhat odd, so that two signals interfere with each other on the bus. The only way we found to have two firewire cameras connected to one computer is to have a second independed firewire bus. You may look up some 3rd party hardware here on our Studio Equipment page in the "Video Input" section. (e.g. for a MacBook a Sonnet FireWire ExpressCard does a good job)
