Kona IOHD – any user comments?

[gary adcock] “to use the IoHD, you cannot use FW drives on the same buss”
Hi Gary,
Do that mean that if I branch the IO to a FW800 PC card with two FW ports, the port that remains free get disable?
I’ve been thinking to buy a IOHD to work with my MBP. As long as the MBP have only one FW800 port, I thought to buy a LaCie PC FW800 card. This have two FW800 and one FW400 ports. So enough for the IO and the external memory.
Them I guess that is better to use the PC card to conect the HDs, so I can use all his ports. And the IO conected directly to the lap-top FW800 port.
More or less?
Thanks,
Rafael

Yes. Connect your FW800 drives to the Express-34 adapter and connect the ioHD directly to your laptop’s FW800 port. Do not connect the FW800 drives and ioHD to the same Express-34 adapter.

Thanks Jeremy.

it’s also possible that no one here really knows for sure if Motu has acquired some of the best video engineers in the world to develop their new product. I would keep an open mind and see for myself instead of always following a crowd.
