Subject: Firewire vs usb throughput


Hi all,


I responded to a new imager about the pros and cons of firewire vs usb cameras for solar imaging on another list. I remember Milton responding saying that despite the similar bandwith specs the transfer rate is superior with the firewire protocol. Having both ports available, I  suggested the FW cam.


I searched the list but did not turn up Milton's post (sorry Milton... I know search is a sore spot 8^) . I was wondering if my memory is correct and if so, can anyone direct me to the post so I might relay this information. Of course if I am off base on this I would like to stand corrected as well.


Thanks in advance,

John
