Can The Zero8 Be Connected To 2 Computers

[catalystg5]

Hey all i just got my new macbbook pro and i noticed that the zero8 has 2 firewire ports. Can it be done, and how would you go about it

I would say almost certainly that this wouldn't work simultaneously with 2 computers.

so whats the need for two firewire ports on the back of the zero8

Firewire as a protocol allows for daisy chaining of devices (unlike USB).
So you can plug another Firewire device (eg. external hard disk) into the Zero 8 and then you have essentially plugged it into the computer......
Most firewire devices will come with 2 ports for this reason.
