I have a suspicion that the other FW port is there because the back plate of the card was built by another manufacturer.  I have been told by Lynx that it is better to connect only one Aurora using FW, and then use the digital inputs to connect a second unit. This is possible using firmware version 15. The latest version disables the digital i/o (which many people do not use) to allow greater stability. I personally use version 15 because I am using both the analog and digital i/o while working large video shoots.

Ok thanks Danny. So the other port is only to link another Aurora?]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:14:09 +0000 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3792&PID=22129&title=lynx-aurora-8-fw-external-hard-drive-propblem#22129 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3792&PID=22126&title=lynx-aurora-8-fw-external-hard-drive-propblem#22126 Author: DannyL

You should absolutely NOT use FW to connect anything other than the Lynx Aurora to your computer. Use USB to connect your hard drives. You will encounter drop outs, synch loss and other digital noise if you try to use anything other than 1 Aurora on Firewire.
