connector on the host computer.
Up to 16 IEEE1394 devices can be attached.
A maximum single cable length: 4.5 m
Connecting in a tree
Some host computer provides two or more IEEE1394 connectors, each IEEE1394
connector allows for the connection of multiple IEEE1394 devices.
A total of 62 IEEE1394 devices can be attached.
CRW2200IX
A single daisy-chain can contain up to
17 devices including the host computer.
