Using 1394 devices

IEEE 1394 is a hardware interface that connects a high-speed multimedia or data storage device to
the computer. Scanners, digital cameras, and digital camcorders often require a 1394 connection.

Some 1394 devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the
device. For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

The 1394 port also supports IEEE 1394a devices.
