  It’s frustrating becuase there are no 800 ports on the imac g5. We have one in house, but we use it sparingly to do work on. When we do, we use a Lacie big disk 500 gig which sports a 400 firewire connection.

  Hi,

  A friend sent this via email (maybe the hub info will help):
  Can you capture DV with the G5 iMac to a drive other than the boot drive (one firewire bus)? If so are there any problems or tricks?
  “Absolutely no problems. I upgraded the imac’s drive to a 320gb and could capture to that drive but I have a firewire drive workflow. I capture to a FWHD on the iMac. I use a Buslink 6 port FW hub on the imac.”

  Best Wishes,

  Mitch
