[There are, evidently, numerous versions of USB.]


Hmmm...interesting URL. If we take the article as read:
Fastest USB is 55MB/s = 440 Mbit/sec?
Fastest Firewire is 786.4 Mbit/sec or 3.2 Gbit/sec?

This certainly is not likely to be a Firewire that's
hundreds of times faster than poor ol' USB any time
soon, practically speaking - perhaps just seven times?
