to the same device. The illustration below shows an example of such a loop
(at the host computer).

Connecting and Disconnecting IEEE1394 Devices
Connecting Devices
Your IEEE1394 devices (including the CRW8824IX drive) are supposed to be
connected to an IEEE1394 chain or tree connection even while the host
computer is turned on (hot plug).
n For more information about a IEEE1394 chain or tree connection, refer to page 14.
Disconnecting Devices
When you attempt to disconnect an IEEE1394 device while the computer is
turned on:
● Computers running under Windows 98 Second Edition will freeze.
● Computers running under Windows 2000 allow for disconnection after you
complete the “unplugging” procedure properly.
● Macintosh computers may show an alert message and allow for disconnection
after you properly close the CD writing software and unmount the CD volume
from the desktop.
n For more information about disconnecting IEEE1394 devices while the computer is
turned on, refer to the documentation about your operating system.
