Hi, Alan et al

My understanding is that the Firewire interface, which was developed to
allow fast transfer of huge low-res video files, achieves its speed in part
by NOT doing any error checking. In a video file, it wouldn't matter much
if a few bytes here and there are corrupted, but I wouldn't want to use
this protocol for any other type of data file (i.e., text, Web graphic,
even speech).

Cheers --
Carol
