EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the info. I have the firewire drives running off of an IBM 
firewire carbus card.  Moving the PMI to the internal drive sounds 
like a bad idea because I believe it's pretty common knowledge 
that  a 7200 oxford 911 firewire drive has much better 
performance than the  internal powerbook drives that shipp with 
these machines
.
Well I'll keep trying and see what I come up with. Thabks for your 
help.
