The following information is about High Performance Serial Bus (IEEE 1394).

High Performance Serial Bus (IEEE 1394) Defined

Serial SCSI in SCSI-3 will include mappings for IEEE 1394 as well as FC-AL and SSA. Designed by Apple as a serial replacement for parallel SCSI and called "FireWire" by them. Uses three twisted pair copper cables and, like other serial SCSI schemes has no terminators and no IDs to contend with. Logically it looks like a bus, just like parallel SCSI. It supports isochronous transfers so it is very attractive to time-dependent data applications such as video and audio. Currently supports transfers at 100 Megabits/second (about 10 MBytes/second) but devices are under development to increase this to 200 or 400 Megabits/second. Cable lengths can be up to 5 meters "per hop" with up to 63 nodes or devices. Just starting to show up in consumer electronics such as home entertainment systems with VCR, video cameras, etc.
