Most computers manufactured since about 2 years ago had USB ports. USB 2.0 is fairly recent.Originally posted by rude
Maybe i can get burner without getting usb port? or these days usb is essential part of computer?

yeah mainly DV Cams, etc, like Sony's iLink, uses firewire. But since the release of USB 2.0, i think slower Firewire, is soon to be outdated.Originally posted by fatmuscle
not many applications/peripherals (unless they're made for MACINTOSH) use firewire
backwards compatibility is very important. If you dind't have it, a lot of people will be turned away from it.Originally posted by Yvan Zivkovic
And saying Firewire is dead is like saying USB 1.1 is dead, seeing how many devices still support USB 1.1.
