Sorry, I was assuming (as with the Sony MDS-LSA1), that it was to be
ATRAC data flowing over the link. In this case, existing USB drivers
and components that transport 44.1khz 16bit PCM data would do equally
well transporting ATRAC1 at up to 4.8x realtime and ATRAC3 at up to
~20x realtime -- probably limited by MD drive write speed in any case.
(This means that a 5 minute LP4 song download could be done in some 15
seconds!).
So -- I like firewire too, but how does it do as a keyboard and mouse
interface?
