FireWire 800 came out in 2002, and goes at 800Mbps.marshallh wrote:I thought FireWire went at 400 mbps, USB2.0 at 480. Now, perhaps FireWire is becoming like SCSI? That would be so confusing.
I feel sorry for anybody who's using USB 1.1 at 12Mbps, but you obviously don't need it any faster, or you would've upgraded.
Dragonhead, is that 2 separate buses(IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b), or do you have a bilingual bus? I don't know the individual person, but I know that Apple created the FireWire bus, which I suppose is the reason that most Macs running OS 8.1 and later use have the bus.
When I get my old computer running, I'm talking my Aunt's old PC, and I'm going to network them with FireWire for my server(which holds up the end of my bed).
