The COM-1460 is a PC/104-Plus Firewire module compliant with the IEEE 1394 OHCI standard. The IEEE 1394 is a high speed serial bus that supports data transfer rates up to 400Mbps (100/200/400 Mbps selectable), and delivers more than 30 times the bandwidth of the popular USB peripheral standard. The most relevant characteristics of this standard are flexibility (the Standard supports freeform daisy chaining and branching for peer-to-peer implementations) and fast guaranteed bandwidth. The Standard supports guaranteed delivery of time critical data which allows smaller buffers (lower cost) . The board supports DMA-driven data transfer and PCI burst transfer. Each of the 3 IEEE 1394 ports can be used to connect up to 63 external devices, support ?hot plug-and-play? and provide power supply to peripherals through an internal DC/DC converter specifically used to isolate power between the physical layer and the host computer. These characteristics make the COM-1460 an ideal choice for audio and video digital devices as well as hard disk drives and other high-speed peripherals. The COM-1460 is fully compliant with the most recent IEEE 1394A specifications and is fully compatible with Linux, Windows 95/98/2000/XP/CE, VxWorks, QNX and other real-time OS?s
