A
IEEE1394 Connection
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabili-
ties like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk
drives, scanners, and removable drives with an
IEEE1394 port can all be connected instead of using
traditional Parallel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports.
IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment
and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
