- Too late now. Within 12 months we'll see the first computers coming out
- with FireWire (IEEE 1394), offering platform independent data transfer of
- 50MB/sec (ie., capable of moving uncompressed video).
-
- The Sony DCX1000 (or whatever it's called) DVC video camera already has a
- FireWire port, but just has nothing to connect it to :^(
