We have two Mac Minis. I have just added a Western Digital 500GB external drive that connects to both computers via Firewire. We use two Firewire 400-800 cables from each computer, connecting to the two Firewire 800 inputs on the HD. The primary reason for the external drive is to share files from Mini to Mini and backup for each.
Do I need a Firewire router? Is there a networking issue between the two computers, bypassing either a drive or router, that needs to be resolved?
Any assistance you can provide on this subject would be wholeheartedly appreciated.
