What you have to worry about is using a hard disk and the Fireface 800 on the same Firewire bus.
If possible run the Fireface 800 and the hard disk on two different Firewire controllers.

not sure if this is true for 2 reasons:
1. on my 2.0 g5 i have 5-7 firewire 400 drives connected at the same time as my fireface 800. the trick to getting it work is that the ff800 has to be turned on first in order to grab the bus first.
2. on g5 (at least the older ones) the 800 and 400 bus are the same.
