The so called "fire wire" high speed protocol of up to 400 megabits/second is coming fast and there is another in the wings at 1000 megabits/second. This will save lots of cabling and allow many devices to daisy chaine on the same wire. The USB is part of it.

I suspect they will not use SCSI for this, as your mice might get a bit big. In the long run many parallel wires are faster than a single wire. So they could make a fire wire EIDE with 16 parallel bits all 400 megabits/second=800 megabytes/second, fast enough for most. Even the 400 MBS is 50 megabytes/second, a real runner.

SCSI will move upstream with each of its wires going to the 400 MBS first(all 32 of them) at some future time? Ultra SCSI (FAW), fast and wide? My name for a new tech??, will it arrive??
