i currently own 2 ide hdd, one in a usb2.0 and one in a firewire enclosure.
i plan on adding a dvd-burner soon, but dont want the mess of 3 external
enclosures, so i thought about going to a 4-drive firewire case, but am
somehow upset by the price of 160 euro. subtracting the money i get from
selling the other two enclosures it still end up somewhere around 90 to 100
bucks, so this is somewhat horrible.
i also thought about buying a cheap pc (P-90) for around 15 bucks and hook
up a firewire card.
my questions:
1) can i connect two-firewire ports directly and it works the way i am used
to, e.g. i can see the drives as normal in explorer?
my guess is no.
2) i know i can use firewire as 400mbps network, so am i able to use the
drives as network drives?
my guess is yes, but what about the dvd-burner? will nero6 burn to a
network-burner?
thx for any help
