Firewire ports and two macs

I have a WD My Book Studio drive that has 2 firewire 800 ports. I have two Macs that I would like to share the same drive. I’ve tried plugging in both Macs but it only ever shows up on one drive. How do I get it to show up on both?

Hi there,

:dizzy_face: Sorry mate, to my understanding that’s not possible. One computer at the time.
