Hi Neil,

Good offer - thank you - I'm a big supporter of re-using/recycling.

Severin, you put out the call first so you have first option - if you take up this one I will get a new one from Stewart at T4, otherwise I am interested.

Just let me know.

Cheers,
Tony.

Hi Severin & Tony,

I actually have a Belkin firewire hub - the old style, looks like this:
<http://www.welovemacs.com/f5u526slv.html>

I haven't used it that much (even less now that my external HD is fw800).

It tends to get used now just as a firewire cable extender if I'm too lazy
to move things around.

If either of you wants to give me $40 for it, I can probably live without it (just move things within single cable reach when I need to!) and you can
pick it up here in Albany!

It was working fine last time I used it (few weeks ago) and we would check it is still working before you took it - but it is a few years old - so if you want a warranty you would be better paying the price to get a new one!


Cheers



Neil

Yes, but I do not use all of them all the time and everything upstream
of the one you are interested must be powered on.  Short term, I am
doing just that.

Hi Severin,

I don't know if it is practical for you or not but nearly all my
firewire
devices have a couple of firewire sockets... and you are supposed to
be able
to daisy-chain firewire devices - so why don't you just do that?

Cheers

My 6 port Swann Firewire hub appears to have carked it. The computer
firewire is fine and a drive plugged straight in mounts.  The power
supply is probably OK as the indicator light on the hub is on. I am
unable to find a replacement at this stage, in fact firewire hubs
seem
to be a vanishing beast.  Can anyone offer a helping suggestion, I
really need this with 5 external devices connected.
