Thanks for the info Geert. Someone on this thread mentioned the order of the "signal chain" between computer, interface (002 in my case) and external hard drive. I think I plugged the drive into the mac book, and the 002 into the firewire drive last time. I might try plugging the 002 into the computer, and then the drive into the 002.
But if what you are saying above is true, it probably doesn't matter much what the order is since the signal to both units has to use the same firewire bus. I guess I could use the USB 2.0 option on the drive, but the low sustained through-put of USB 2.0 has always made me nervous. Or course I'm only recording 2 channels at 24/44.1 (classical stuff).
Thanks again for the input--at least I have an idea of what to try to fix it now.
