| IEEE 1394
Also known as FireWire, IEEE 1394 is a standard for high-speed serial
connections approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers. The standard is designed for the exchange of information
between PCs and consumer electronics devices that transfer large amounts
of data, such as digital camcorders or VCRs. Currently, there is an
extremely limited number of FireWire devices, but proponents of PC and TV
convergence think the standard will be more widely adopted as time goes
on. Windows 98 will support FireWire-compliant devices. |
