Also,
Some words of experience from a company who is doing both USB and FireWire
on the embedded (hardware) side of things and has also done a bit of
compliance testing on USB:
Apparently, the USB environment your device will find "in the wild" can be
rather complex and/or not really standards compliant - mainly because some
vendors of (cheap) USB devices do not always bother to comply fully to the
standard. This is especially true for "value" hubs and input devices.
To solve this, many users end up connecting USB devices "one device per port
only" if they have sensitive things like audio etc... This is a bit odd, but
often the only way around nightmares. (On the Mac, you will be surprised how
many average users try to plug "any" USB device into the Apple Keyboard,
just because it is so convenient on the desk...)
There is nothing wrong with USB 2.0, but in real life FireWire seems to be
the safer bet - and your tech support staff will be happy for not having to
sort out your customers USB mess...
Good luck!
Christian
