FireWire
High speed serial interface defined by Apple Computer in 1994. FireWire is a trademark; the interface may be referred to as IEE1394 withut paying royalties to Apple. FireWire allows the attachment of up to 63 devices to a single controller and allows for hub or daisy-chain topolgies. It was designed as a next-generation replacement for SCSI and is used to connect cameras, AV equipment, hard drives and optical drives to computer equipment.
FireWire can operat at 100,200,400 and 800 Megabits per second and there are 4, 6 and 8 pin variants on the physical connectors.
Sony have their own branding for FireWire - they refer to it as i.Link

Computer released by Atari in 1985. Enjoyed almost ten years of success thanks to some amazing games and productivity software. Many musicians started out using Cubase on the Atari ST, thanks to its built-in MIDI support. Was available with 0.5 or 1 MB of RAM and was expandable to 4MB. There were many aftermarket hard drive adaptors and accelerators.
Atari ceased production of the ST in 1994 to concentrate on the Jaguar console instead.

An excellent digital 'linear' synthesizer from the late eighties, made by Roland. Less expensive than the D10 and D15 because it has less memory and no sequencer built in. Produces very nice phat bass and leads, although the piano and guitar patches suck.

System Can't See It. interface designed for attaching high speed devices such as Raster Image Processors, Printers, Hard discs and scanners, but invariably involves spending twice as much as you intended and blowing out your logic board.
