How to Daisy-Chain through FireWire ports to your Amphibious Drive at one
time
Daisy-Chain (Connecting Multiple Devices) means
that device A is connected to device B and
device B is connected to device C and so forth. All connections are made only through FireWire
ports.
•
Do not mix interfaces. Select FireWire ports only. For example, do not use USB and
FireWire to Daisy-Chain.
•
Mixing FireWire 400 and 800 connectors to Daisy- Chain will reduce the transfer speed to
FireWire 400.
•
Daisy-Chain allows you to connect multiple devices, such as cameras, external read/write
drives and other external devices such as hard disk drive to your computer via FireWire
ports.
