Re: USB 2 versus g3 powermac bus
anyone know how fast the onboard bus on a g3 350 is compared to usb2? In other words comparing read and write speeds. Thanks Maybe you want to compare the speed of internal and external harddisks? The internal hd-bus is ATA/33, which has a max of 33.3 MB/s. So it’s a good deal faster than USB1, but way slower than USB2. But of course real speeds depend on more than just that bus. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Onboard bus usually refers to the system internal bus, where most of data travel through (so to speak). On a G3 350 (BW tower, or iMac) the system bus is 100 MHz. But you mentioning USB2 seem to refer to external connection ports; again, a BW G3 350 has: - USB1.1 port = 12 Mbs - Firewire 400 = 400 Mbs (this one is quite superior to USB2 - that has a *theoretical* speed of 480 Mbs) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
