Topic: Keeping my fireface 800 connected with both 400 and 800 FW ports
So the thing is this. I use different computers with my fireface 800. My PC workstation is connected through the FW 400 port, and my macbook is connected with a thunderbolt-to-firewire adapter through my FW 800 port.
Until now I have turned around my whole rack to unplug the different ports on the back of my fireface 800 interface, but that is kind of a hassle.
So my question is this. Is it ok if I keep both ports connected at the back of my fireface 800, but not connected to my computers simultaneously? If I f.ex use my macbook that is connected through the FW 800 port, the FW 400 port would be unplugged from my PC but still be plugged in on my fireface. When I use one computer the other cable would just be connected to "thin air", but both the FW 800 and FW 400 ports on my fireface would be constantly connected.
I have not tried it yet, but I was hoping some of you would be able to illuminate me on the topic?
Peace.
