Onboard FireWire support refers to the integration of FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface ports directly into a computer's motherboard, allowing for high-speed data transfer between devices such as external hard drives, camcorders, and audio interfaces. This feature enables users to connect compatible peripherals without needing additional expansion cards or external adapters. FireWire is particularly valued for its ability to handle real-time data, making it popular in multimedia applications. However, its usage has declined with the rise of USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt technologies.
I know the high end models of Dynex brand offer firewire support.
firewire port can support up to 63 devices on one firewire port with a hub
The Motherboard
The FireWire will be disabled until the USB cord is disconnected. Once disconnected, you can only charge your iPod with the FireWire. 1394 (FireWire) does not support data transfer to the iPod...
both support hot-swapping devices
Well firewire can support up to 64 and usb can support 128
Onboard 1394 refers to the FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface that is integrated into a device's motherboard or hardware. This interface allows for high-speed data transfer between devices, such as connecting cameras, external hard drives, and other peripherals. FireWire supports daisy-chaining multiple devices and provides power to connected devices, making it a versatile option for multimedia applications. However, its usage has declined in favor of newer technologies like USB-C and Thunderbolt.
Firewire IEEE1394a supports a maximum speed of 400mbs. IEEE1394b can support speeds of up to 3200mbs over special connections. Typically thought of as Firewire800 because of it's backwards compatibility at 800mbs.
FireWire 800, also known as IEEE 1394b, typically has 9 pins in its standard 9-pin connector. This allows for higher data transfer rates compared to its predecessor, FireWire 400, which has a 6-pin and a 4-pin connector option. The additional pins in FireWire 800 support features like increased bandwidth and improved networking capabilities.
Any devise that is made to work with firewire. Such as a hard drive.
