CHAPTER ONE
WELCOME TO THE CD-RECORDING/DVD-ROM WORLD!
If you’re new to CD-Recording, don’t worry; it’s easy to learn. The Que! Combo
FireWire Drive allows you to store massive amounts of data on one CD. You can fit
as much data found on 450 floppies on one CD-R or CD-RW media. Plus, it allows
you to record audio, audio/video applications and play DVD movies and games.
In this chapter, we’ll tell you more about the features and uses of CD-Recording
technology.
THE IEEE 1394/FIREWIRE INTERFACE
IEEE 1394 is an industry standard serial communications interface protocol as
published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It is designed
to provide a high level of connectivity and ease of use between consumer
electronic devices and personal computers and between computers and their
peripherals. IEEE 1394 is commonly referred to as the FireWire interface.
IEEE 1394 / FireWire has high volume, high speed capabilities, it is currently able
to provide up to 400 Mbits per second data transfer rate, and will be capable of
greater speeds in the future. It allows up to 63 devices to be linked together
without termination at the end of the bus and does not require address IDs to be
set on the peripheral devices. The IEEE 1394 /FireWire interface allows more than
one computer to be connected to the same peripheral and it does not matter
which operating system the different computers are running.
Most devices have two connectors so you can daisy chain up to 17 devices
serially. However some devices have three ports so you can also branch out up
to 63 devices.
