I had trouble with the Y chord setup for whatever reason. I ended up getting an Iomega 500gb ext. hd. Per Peter's suggestion, I put the BIAB and Real Drum files on my laptop and the Real Tracks and real track demos on the hd. I just have to remember to turn on the ext hd (has its own power source) when I load BIAB. The laptop won't boot up if the ext hd is on. No problems with this setup so far--around 6 months. fWIW
