Daisy-chain FireWire devices in Target Disk Mode
Authored by: Zaphod42 on Jul 13, '07 12:07:19PM

be careful not to plug in any usb or firewire devices into the mac that's booted into OS X when you have another mac connected via TDM!!!!

I did this to back up an older ibook that didn't have usb2 and it resulted in every file getting corrupted as it was copied off the TDM machine through my computer into the USB HD.

apple's tech article only mentions not to plug in any other FW drives, doesn't say anything about usb, which sucks.
