WOOO!! Firewire r0x! Intel $uck$! USB is slow and sucks eggs!! x86 is lame and PowerPC 4ever!!! WOOOOOOO!!! Oh, and I use and love my Macintosh, so I have to say this: And you know what? I won’t even mind that much.

So, to conclude, even if USB 2.x rocks the PC world like USB 1.1 did, and manages to eat 1394 for breakfast, your new TVs and stereos, Playstation 2s and 3s, personal video recorders, DVD players, and what-all-else will MOST LIKELY have an x1394 port on them somewhere. Apple is also NOT moving very quickly behind USB 2.x (despite them being VERY MUCH behind USB 1.1), not only because of its competition, but because it would hurt its image as the “media hub” by going against the HAVi initiative. In consumer electronics, x1394 is on almost all the major companies’ roadmaps and is not going anywhere because of HAVi (Home Audio Video Interoperability) organization. Yes, I read the little blurb about USB 2.1 and “USB-to-Go” but it it’s not here yet. It would be nice to get little cheap boxes outfitted with only USB 1.1/2.x for $500 or less, and this will eventually happen.īut, USB2 means little to the consumer electronics industry. I think it could be a good thing, though, but only for PCs. Yes, I know they will only really pass the savings on if USB 2.x really doesn’t catch on. I’m sure it saves the manufacturers money, and the manufacturers might actually consider passing those savings on to the consumers. USB 2.x is more like a monkey wrench, in my opinion. USB 1.1 and x1394 (Firewire) complement (and, arguably, complete) each other. I guess my whole point is long live printer port!

And yes the ease of install might make them good for people who aren’t ready to open up their cases and install something, but those people would most likely pay the extra 20 bucks or whatever and have them installed for them. I personally don’t know anyone who has an external burner or hard drive, or a need for one. And the firewire items, other than digital video cams, are all pretty niche markets. My big question though is, isn’t this overkill? Look at the 2 most popular usb items, mice and keyboards, both of which really don’t need more speed (hell keyboards don’t even need usb, I don’t know anyone who can type at 12,000 strokes per second or however many you could do with usb). Firewire will never completely replace usb (too many usb devices already sold, and most of them wouldn’t need the speed boost), but usb will never completely unseat firewire (as long as sony is a major player in digital video, which could be a while). Reason being I already have some usb stuff, and no firewire stuff.
As for firewire or usb 2.0, if I had to choose I’d choose usb 2.0. Yea its faster then ide, but its no where near as good for your average user (or even your average “power” user). Too many conflicting standards, not nearly as compatable as it should be (although it does seem to finally be fixing that problem, ‘course its what a 12 year old standard?). Roll on USB2 or 1394 – doesnt matter which, just give us the speed that modern consumer devices need.Īm I the only person who thinks scsi is, was and always will be a joke? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times by supporters, but really it never was that good. With the bandwidth allowed by USB2 this PC would be an excellent machine, as it is its better suited to ocasional I/O intensive tasks, which is probably why ist was sold cheaply ( GB Pounds £500 in 3/00 ) and not bundled with scanners or printers.

It only had one major problem – total I/O bandwidth was too low, and when using my HP8230 USB CDRW drive ( USB 1.1, 4x write, 24x read ) the mouse became highly erratic and typing input slowed down as the onboard USB hosts diverted all bandwidth to one port to keep the burner running.Īttempting to use Zip and CDRW, or scanner, at same time, caused ruined disks. had intel 810, cel 500, 64Mb, modem, internal graphics and 4 USB ports in a sealed designer case ( ext monitor, USB keybdand mouse ) Hardware that supports both standards seems an elegant and logical way to let the competing standards battle it out,įor my tuppence-worth – I bought a USB-only PC in 2000 – the century City 5000 from not defunct AST Computing. Some opportunistic manufacturer will make an integrated interface that supports both IEEE1394 and US, suitable for integration into devices, so they can use either standard to communicate with a PC ( But not with each other obviously )… I think external Hard Drive caddies using both FireWire and USB2 are already available.
