FireWire Depot has introduced the Newnex FireNEX-MX, an optical repeater for transmitting FireWire 400 and 800 data signals over multi mode optical fiber cable up to 3,280 feet long. It's slightly larger than a deck of cards and contains two 6-pin FireWire 400 ports and one FireWire 800 port. According to the FireWire Depot Web site, the Newnex FireNEX-MX will be in stock on Oct. 11 for US$850, with optical cables available in lengths from 32 to 3,280 feet, starting at $65.

The moderator of the RME forum has warned that installing Windows XP SP2 can lead to the bus speed being limited to 100Mbit/s. Matthias Carstens posted the message on the RME forum yesterday, but says it's not a problem particular to RME products. He said: "It affects any Firewire 800 device. If you have a FW800 PCI card and an FW 800 hard disk, go see the bits come one by one through the Firewire cable".

RME, he said, was aware of the problem for some time, but "didn't really imagine that Microsoft would have the guts to try to bury an existing standard. We just downloaded the final public version and it is simply unbelievable". He said that some companies are trying to sell Firewire 800 drivers so everything will be hunky-dory. But, he said, these drivers probably won't work correctly with a Fireface 800.

IP over Firewire

IP over Firewire 12/04/2002 06:20 PM

Apple has released IP over Firewire. I think this is kind of cool, and I have always wished for it. Although, I'm sure people are going to get carried away and start thinking that they should wire their house with Firewir e instead of Cat5. Silly Mac/ers.

Firewire or USB NAS

Firewire or USB NAS 08/05/2004 03:10 AM

I just picked up an exter nal Seagate 160GB hard drive with the intention of using it as a primary backup device for my home office. I can easily plug it into any machine via USB or Firewire and back the computer up.

While I was setting up the backup scheduling for my laptop, however, I realized that I can’t really create a schedule. My laptop is very mobile—it moves from room to room and place to place with me. I can’t expect to have the drive’s USB connection plugged into my laptop at any given time. If I schedule the backup to run at 1am, I would need to make sure I have the laptop on my desk and connected in order for the backup to succeed.

What would be great is a small IP addressable gadget that I could plug this drive into so that it could become a simple Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. That way my laptop could be backed up over my wireless net from anywhere in the house.

Something like this might exist already but I didn’t turn anything up in a few moments of research.
