The original mail said this
"A firewire solution would be better off since it is becoming the standard
for a/v components that offer pc connectivity."
Not a mention of high speed, so wouldn't that mean S/PDIF, AES/EBU, TTL, the
MD Deck PC IR controllers, the MDS-PCx controllers, even Line Out is PC
connectivity, which works with most a/v equipment, so FireWire is not THE
standard, its A standard
