-
- Nope. The IEEE1394 supports 100 and 200MBit/s, 4Q96 400MBit/s and 1Gbit/s
- somewhere in 1997.
-
- What makes it possible to transmit uncompressed video data is its special
- feature, the isochronous transfer mode.
-
- I don't know where you got the 50MB/s.

-
- It has a 1394 port. FireWire is the name that Apple has for its
- implementation of the IEEE1394 bus.
-
- If you want some information about the IEEE1394-bus, tell me. I got some
- on the texas instruments IEEE1394-symposium during CeBit (about 1kg).
-
- I really hope that the PowerPC-Amigas are going to have a 1394-interface.
- They *must* have. There's no way round.
