I am wondering too. Considering buying a used Multiface as a cheap way of getting extra analog channels on my FF800. At least some staff member should be able to answer this

very possible. But it can be impractical. The multiface needs to be connected to a pci/pcie RME card and then needs constant power to work. You can't just power it up and use it for more inputs. And remember that the firewire port is only for RME cards. Regular IEEE1394 ports can destroy the multiface.
