Subject: Re: new firewire Italian camera

Folks;

After a little bit of digging around on his site, I came up with this

link.

http://www.lazzarotti-optics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9&PN=1

From the postings, this is in the "thought" stage so I would not

expect anything soon as their still deciding what the camera will

support (it started out USB 2, then 1394A and now it's 1394B). They

have a wish list of features put together though, which look nice and all.

Also there are some really confusing things in the postings about

1394B not being powered, where as it's a requirement of the 1394B spec

to supply power. I think they are confusing 1394B with FW 4 pin / DV

mini FW connectors which are not powered and that some manufactureres

produce 6 pin FireWire 1394A cards/cables with no power (which is

basically a violation of spec).

In any case, it will be interesting to see what develops from it.

TTYL..
