 Basics

FireWire Technology - 50

buffers to capture digital video. FireWire will gradually 

improve upon existing interfaces such as SCSI. FireWire 

provides higher speed, lower cost, and is more user friendly 

than most existing interfaces. SCSI products such as 

scanners, CDROMs, disk drives, and printers are already 

evaluating when they will move to FireWire.

FireWire has the bandwidth capacity to replace and 

consolidate most other peripheral connection communication 

methods in use today. Hot plugging, power sourcing, and 

dynamic reconfiguration make FireWire a user-friendly 

alternative to today's interconnects. These features will 

allow "plugging in" of computer peripherals as easily as 

plugging in a home appliance.
