AJA LA and Lacie F800 disk
Hi all.According to what i read in this forum, Aja wont work when another F800/400 is plugged into the MacBook Pro, but I did exactly just that and everything seems fine capturing and printing to tape using FCP,and no errors been occured. My spec is as follows.Any idea or a better solution?Thanks alot.
MacBookPro 17-inch DuoCore 2.16 w 2gigs DDR2 RAM 667.
Internal Sata 100G @ 7200rpm
AJA LA patched directly component and audio in and out of a SP 2800P deck plus R422 control
AJA LA to MacBook Pro by F400 onboard
Lacie Biggercdisk 1T Extreme Tripple to MacBook Pro by F800 onboard
My scratch disk ofcourse set to the Lacie
NO PCMCIA card involved as the new MBP doesnt support thosePS.The onlything is the loopback signal which cause the lines and wierd noise on the monitor, that i understand as Bob explained in the other thread

AJA says in the IO manual that the IO uses so much of the FW bandwidth that you shouldn’t use FW drives attached to
the FW800 port at the same time you’re using the IO (the FW400 and FW800 ports use the same bus). Walter and others
have used FW800 drives with their IO with no problems. I think AJA is trying to eliminate any potential bandwidth issues
by making a conservative statement, but I follow their advice just to be sure.If you’re looking for a better solution than FW though, the Seritek SATA card is a Express 3/4 card with 2 SATA ports:
