FINALLY!!!! I bought a Firepod!

I've had my Firepod for well over two years now and it has been fantastic. Just one small problem the firewire 1 port does not work any more, dunno why, I just use port 2 which is fine. I'm looking to get another Firepod and link the two. Does it matter which port you use when linking 2 firepods? And how do the inputs appear in Cubase when using 2? Can they be listed as 16 monos?

I am sure they can. You might not be able to direct monitor all 16 chanells though (although I don't know).
