Does anyone know how to safely let two computers hook up to the same set of external firewire drives?
Heres what I'm trying to do:
In a attempt to keep my editing system virus free and as reliable as possible I dont have it hooked up to the internet. Instead a second computer is used for internet access via a cable modem. Yet at the same time not having direct access to files sent to me over the internet for my editing is a real pain. I have to put media files that I get over the internet on one external firewire hard drive and then plug it into my other NLE computer to work with the files. I just want two computers with their own internal drives for all program files and a set of large external firewire drives for my media files that both computers can share.
I also want to simplify my workspace and have some type of switch that allow the two computers to share the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. Whats the smartest way to do this?
Thank you
