Hi
I have a gdrive and a La Cie d2 Quadra, both fwire 800. I have them daisy chained to my imac - both show in Finder and work just fine!
When I take the fwire lead from the back of the imac and plug it into my AirBook via an Apple Thunderbolt / fwire converter plug, neither show in Finder or disc utility!
HELP
Cheers

The thunderbolt adaptor provides 7 watts of power, so if neither one of those drives has its own power supply, then there may simply not be enough power to mount 2 daisy chained devices.

What happens when you just connect one drive
