| Can someone please explain (in simple terms) what
| Firewire is?
Firewire is Apple's trademark for their implementation of the IEEE 1394
specification. It is a fast (currently up to 400Mbps), inexpensive serial
interconnect bus for multimedia devices such as cameras, audio equipment,
and storage media. It is philosophically comparable to USB in that usage
defines the system, but USB is pig-slow (4-10Mbps) by comparison.
Sony calls it iLink.
