Are you using such a setup, or a plain old firewire enclosure with two ports? I have a firewire enclosure I got from http://www.cooldrives.com but you need to make sure it is using the Oxford 911 chipset. They upgraded me to the INITIO which would not work. I think I spent < $500 for all(enclosure,2 firewire cards and 2 hard drives). Alan
