Skinny:
MOTU devices work this way on PCs,
1. You can have multiple devices daisy-chained, or on one firewire card with multiple connections
2. Even though you can do all these, they have a hard time keeping their clocks synced. So basically you can't use the full potential of having 3 MOTU firewire devices. I still haven't figured out how to resolve this.
3. On Windows 7/Vista you need to downgrade your firewire card's drivers to "Legacy" drivers
MOTU Devices work this way on MACs,
1. You can have multiple devices daisy-chained, or on one firewire card with multiple connections.
2. Rather than Cubase being able to see the MOTU devices as a combined device by default, you have to create an aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup in order to use all 3 at the same time. This creates a good amount of latency, so you'll need to either run at higher buffers, or lower sample rates.
Conclusion,
On MACs, firewire audio devices seem to run smoother, but you need to create an aggregate device to access them all easily.
On PCs, firewire works just fine, as long as you only use one MOTU firewire device at a time.
Just some of my experiences, if any of you on here are using multiple MOTU Firewire devices with Windows and NOT getting pop/clicks clock de-sync issues. Let me know!
