USB and firewire were established around the same time. It took a long time for
USB to catch on. I find it over rated. I hooked my printer up to USB, rather
than using the parallel port thinking I was going to see an increase in
performance. To me it seems like it takes even longer before the printer starts
printing using USB than it did with the parallel port.
My question is this, does firewire have to be limited to video and audio devices?
Please don't reply if you don't really know but only think you know.
Thanks,
