Firewire express/34 cards on Mabook Pro?
I also realised that I actually need a card with FW 400 and 800 ports, or a card with 2 FW 800 ports. This is because I need to connect 2 audio interfaces, it's not worth going into the details but it's a very particular setup, and they need to be on the same bus. So I CAN'T use one 400 port on the express card and then use the normal FW800 port of the Macbook Pro (the devices also cannot be daisy chained, and even if they could it would slow the 800 device down to 400, which wouldn't be acceptable).
I noticed there are three or four such cards available, including one from Sonnet. I really want to avoid Sonnet if possible, because of the loose connection issue. I also need to know, if there is a FW400 and a FW800 device connected to an express card, does the speed of the 800 device slow down to 400, or can one run at 800 and the other at 400 simultaneously??
Thanks in advance.
