Can FireWire devices be connected in a daisy chain?

Yes, and if the devices are designed according to the FireWire standard, they can be turned on and off as needed. For example, all devices don’t need to be powered on to use the last device in the chain. For the best result, and to avoid overstressing the FireWire port, connect one FireWire device to the Macintosh, then add one device at a time to the chain. Avoid plugging in live power adapters into devices connected to the chain.
