Ken, I do not know the envelope for fire wire, but any sharp square pulse gets rounded after a few hundred feet in two wires, so there are limits. For 10 feet or so for printers etc it is fine. I suspect they will choose some kind of balanced line for distance?, perhaps with a shield over all? The true solution is fiber. It has the bandwidth, and the costs are dropping, but it will be costly to fiber all the major cities, but it is being done as we speak. As for acronyms for SCSI, fast extra wide, fast and loose?? I would like to find an xxx rated acronym we could use to embarass uptight network supervisors, floozy interface, etc. Bill
