INTERFACES

Yo u c a n d a isy-chain up to four MOTU FireWire

interfaces on a single FireWire bus, with the

restrictions described in the following sections.

Connect them as follows:

Mac OS 9, choose it from the Interface menu as shown.

Using multiple interfaces under Mac OS X

When using multiple interfaces under Mac OS X,

choose one interface as the master clock source and

then slave the rest to it. All interfaces will remain

resolved to each other via the master interface. The

master interface can be any audio interface (PCI,

FireWire or otherwise) that appears in the MOTU

FireWire Console Clock Source menu.
