About FireWire 400
FireWire is an implementation of the IEEE 1394 serial bus standard. It
not only supports automatic configuration ("plug and play") and
hot-swapping of devices, it's fast, and best of all it's reliable for
audio/video as well as for computer peripherals. FireWire supports
peripherals in a tree-like structure, as opposed to SCSI's linear
structure. It allows peer-to-peer device communication—e.g. between a
scanner and a printer—to take place, without using system memory or
the CPU. With FireWire you don't have to worry about IDs or device
termination; you can hook up to 63 devices to the same bus, with cable
lengths of up to 4.5 meters (14 feet) including internal cabling, allowed
between devices. Its cable is not only more convenient than SCSI's but
can also carry power. This allows low-consumption devices to operate
without a separate power cord, by using power supplied by other
devices on the bus.
