About the VS-30FW FireWire 800/1394b Repeater/HUB
Many computers today come with one or more FireWire ports on the rear panel.
These ports let you attach many devices to your computer quickly and easily. The
operating system also supports FireWire, so the installation of the device drivers is
also quick and easy. Compared to other ways of connecting devices to your
computer (including parallel ports, serial ports and special cards that you install
inside the computer's case), FireWire devices are simple. Many peripheral devices
(including: DV Camcorders, Digital still cameras, Storage devices such as External
Hard Drives and Disk Arrays, Network connections, and scanners and printers) now
come in a FireWire version.
