I have recently been experiancing some crashes after I 'record to disk' using my firewire hard disk. I was wondering if this was due to the order in which my firewire devices are chained.

Currently I have my flame first in line out of my single G4 Powerbook firewire port followed by a 40GB LaCie D2 drive (this is the drive I'm recording to). Should I swap the order of the devices? Should I not record to this disk?

This usually happens with Logic 5.3 in the background although I've seen it happen with Kyma as the sole application running. The files do end up on the disk but Kyma freezes often after this process and I have to force my computer to restart. Acceptable but annoying, eh?

This could of course be for other reasons as well..... Any tips?

I haven't seen crashes as you describe, but I *would* recommend putting the disk as the first thing in the chain, since the speed of the computer-disk communications is more critical than the speed of computer-Capy communications.
