Firewire is twice as fast as usb 1.1, but not as fast as usb 2.0
There is a new firewire slowly starting to appear that will

mainstream now. Or maybe there are few devices using it.
It is often called FW-800 and it has been around a couple of years.
There are many devices using it. The first FW is called FW-400.
BTW, FW-400 is typically faster than USB 2.0 in many uses. Especially
streaming images. On our FW-400 system, we actually get 400 MBit of data
(calculated with cameras that provide an uncompressed image size/rate).
I am not sure if the USB 2.0 speed is for the data only, or it if
includes the transmission overhead.
