Firewire to USB hub
Hi there,
I have an older iMac that I make music on. Due to the number of midi devices connected to the computer, I need more high speed USB ports to run all of the devices with minimal latency.
My firewire port has sat there quite uselessly since purchasing the computer, and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a powered male firewire to female USB hub. I would assume that the firewire port can handle more data than a USB port, hence will avoid some of the latency/device recognition issues that I am having with my existing USB to USB hub (unpowered).
If anyone could offer some advice as to how I should negotiate this issue, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks.
p.s. are there any issues with serial port selection when running such a hub through the firewire port?
