I think Meagan is going to try and get one too, which is neat.

Thanks.

I will hopefully be getting one by the end of the year.

Keep “publishing”.

Yikes, I often misspell “past” as “passed”. It looks as though I missed it again.

To be clear, do you want me to not post anymore at all, or just on the MacBook Pro?

Thanks for letting me know about the FireWire to USB issue. I’ve updated that paragraph.

Please, don’t publish any more. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about, and only add confusion and grief to people who listen to you and assume you know what you’re talking about.

First pagargaph “get passed this”. No, get past this.

There is no conceivable way that plugging any firewire device into the firewire port of an external hard drive, and then plugging that drive into your computer via USB is going to work. Never. Not possible. They are two distinctly different protocols, it’s not a simple matter of plug size and shape. Not to mention that the configuration of a hard drive interface is to be a particular kind of endpoint, not a server for additional firewire devices out there.
