[MacDV] Re: Little Tiny 40Gig

[R B Williams]

The Canon / external Firewire issue that was discussed involved a Blue & White G3 Mac
where the 2 firewire devices were connected directly to the computer FW ports. The issue
disappeared when the camera was daisy chained into the drive instead.

I was unable to duplicate the problem at the time, but later had a capture issue from a
canopus box to external firewire. It was solved in the same way. I just plugged the
capture box into the FW port on the drive.

This doesn't really make sense that it matters, but that is my experience.

By the way, I have 3 different Canon mini-dv cameras and have good results from all of
them.
