Jeff,

Thanks for taking the time to test out my inquiry and for responding with
your results. Another poster made a similar inquiry and got several
responses which she copies to a word document and subsequently sent that to
me via email. The upshot seems to be it will work with firewire drives but
usb is questionable.
