Hi.  Interesting.  Does the powerbook have a better firewire chip though?  

That seems to be the issue with this model and all the other lower end mac
books until you get to the pro models.

I did ask the sweetwater tech support guy if issues had been reported with
other mac books and various firewire interfaces and I didn't get a clear
answer...

Thanks,

Cameron.

Cameron,

I just did 32 tracks through one FireWire 400 port while recording an 
orchestra. Actually, I even tested it at 96K and it worked without a hitch 
on an older PowerBook G4. You should have absolutely no problem with it in 
terms of bandwidth.
