If I understand correctly the new macbooks supply the "correct" power given the IEEE firewire spec. The powerbook/ibook series supplied more power than the IEEE spec at the time. Some devices took advantage of this extra power (e.g., Metric Halo MIO).

Soooooooo, when speaking with Glyph, the real question is whether the drive will operate on buss power as specified by the IEEE spec.

Please post your findings.

Thanks.
