Seems that Microsoft and others are pushing firewire (an old Apple
standard) and dumping USB. The availability of new PC firewire
accessories is taking off. This standard seems exactly directed to my
earlier submission ("question; re-invent an old idea ?").
Firewire is supposed to be an open standard, multi-platform. High
quality (SVGA) dumb terminals will be a natural.
If I could program a clock I'd be on this. But I have to rely on you for
Linux software.
