I would say almost certainly that this wouldn't work simultaneously with 2 computers. |

Firewire as a protocol allows for daisy chaining of devices (unlike USB).
So you can plug another Firewire device (eg. external hard disk) into the Zero 8 and then you have essentially plugged it into the computer......
Most firewire devices will come with 2 ports for this reason. |
