Thanks for any answers !

It's possible but it won't do anything that you might call useful. Only one computer at a time can control the interface.

it's possible but (...) Only one computer at a time can control the interface

well thanks for your quick answer, but I don't get it ?

do you mean that it is technically possible to plug 2 computers via 2 firewire cables, but that this won't be possible at the software/os level ?

in fact, what I'd like to do is to have one master macbook controlling the ultralite (outputting sound, recording, etc), but have a second macbook sending audio to the first one via the same ultralite thru the 2nd firewire input...

it would really be sooo great!

thanks a lot,

if you can interrupt the audio played by the second macbook to level with de first macbook it will work!
but not simultaneously!

okay, I accept this fact.

ok, impossible just means... impossible !!!

so sad... I guess it's a big technical limitation MOTU was not able to change...

anyway thanks to both of you,

best regards
