Other interesting stuff of note - updated since I last read it.......
(and in '05, FW3200 had already been tested over small distances of 1-2 meters, but this 100 meter deal is fsckin' awesome. Would love to see it be able to plug to GigEthernet, with some guts in the adapter, and provide FW800 or better over 5e cable. That would make me satisfied with whatever is lost.)
---------
The FireWire host interface supports memory-mapped devices, which allows high-level protocols to run without loading the host CPU with interrupts and buffer-copy operations. [18] FireWire 800 is substantially faster than Hi-Speed USB.[19]
Alternative uses for IEEE 1394
Aircraft
IEEE 1394b is used in military aircraft, where weight savings are desired. Developed for use as the data bus on the F-22 Raptor, it is also used on the F-35 Lightning II.[20] NASA's Space Shuttle also uses IEEE 1394b to monitor debris (foam, ice) which may hit the vehicle during launch.[20] This standard should not be confused with the unrelated MIL-STD-1394B.
Automobiles
IDB-1394 Customer Convenience Port (CCP) is the automotive version of the 1394 standard. [21]
Sexual Devices
IDB-1394 Customer Convenience Port CCP is the iBrator version of the 1394 standard (implementation pending, device is currently USB ) (69)
