Hey thank you so much for the quick reply.
I am planning on getting the ULN-2 tommorrow.
I am very excited.
I am a little bummed that it will cost me 700 dollars to upgrade to +dsp when all I really "need" is the amp modeling.
Can I please buy the amp modeling separately?
$700 is a lot if I am only going to be "needing" the amp sims.

Anyway, my plan is to connect the ULN-2(400 to 800 adapter) into my glyph 050q hard drives firewire 800 slot then
plug the glyph hard drive into the Imac going Firewire 800 to the Imac's firewire 800.

(The glyph 050q has 2 firewire 800 inputs, so I will use both in this process to daisy chain.)

And I understand from the Allen R. post above, that this will have my Glyph hard drive running at Fire wire 800 bandwidth and my Metric halo Uln-2 running at fire wire 400 bandwidth.

So this would be the best way to run the system to its highest potential given that the Imac i7 only has one fire wire 800 input.
