Just thinking out loud into the future.... Firewire can do a lot of things that USB and serial communications never will.
It's faster with video and disk I/O because the protocol is leaner, and you can create networks with it. I think that a FireWire network between a rig like the K3 and a computer would be the perfect interface because every piece of software can have its own dedicated connection to the radio, something difficult to implement with a serial connection. Firewire will also stay around because it's used as the Fly-by-wire bus for the F-22 Raptor. Any thoughts?
