FireWire
FireWire is Apple's implementation of IEEE 1394, and is capable of transferring large
amounts of data between computers and peripherals at a high rate of speed. The
FireWire standard defines 100, 200 and 400Mb/s devices and can support multiple
speeds on a single bus.
FireWire has the following features:
• Hot-pluggable: devices can be added and removed while the bus is active.
• Isochronous data delivery: FireWire supports real-time data delivery.
• Flexible: up to 63 devices can be connected on a single bus.
