You indeed are. Its 400Mbs, not 400MBs. Get it? That is to say, it is 400 Mega bits per second, not 400 Mega Bytes a second. 8 bits in a byte, so FireWire 400 is 50MBs max. Less than ATA 66 which is actually 66MBs. IIRC, gigabit ethernet is the same, it maxes at 250MB/s. Chris -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
