Can I use FireStore with FireWire (IEEE-1394) drive kits?
Focus EnhancementsYes. FireStore will work with IEEE-1394 drive kits that put an IEEE-1394 interface on standard IDE disk drives. It is however necessary to ensure that the selected disk drive is capable of reading/writing DV streams in real time. Generally, that would mean a disk drive that is capable of read/write of at least 7MB/s and access times no greater than 10-12 milliseconds).
Related QuestionsCan I use FireStore with any FireWire (IEEE-1394) drive?
Focus EnhancementsYes. You can use FireStore with virtually any DV (read/write) capable FireWire hard disk drive. As a rule of thumb, the drive should be capable of reading/writing at least 7MB/s and relatively fast access time (at most 10-12 milliseconds). The drive MUST be first partitioned as a FAT32 volume to work with FireStore (even if you intend to use the drive on a Macintosh or other computer system later).

Related QuestionsQUESTION: Will Firewire (IEEE-1394) replace SCSI?
scsifaqFirewire is a 400 Mbit/sec.serial protocol. There is a standard (IEEE-1394) that describes the serial interface from a hardware standpoint. There are other standards that describe the software protocol that is used to transfer data over this interface. SCSI-3 has a section (SBP) that describes one protocol. It is becoming popular for interfacing computers to video cameras for frame grabbing and editing. Even if it starts to catch on as a storage interface, it will still be SCSI.

Why is this superior to using the IEEE-1394 firewire port on my laptop?
Mobile Video Devices - Frequently Asked QuestionsThe firewire port on PC notebooks is ideally used as a port for connecting peripheral devices like CD burners or external hard-drives but are not well-suited for audio/video capture and streaming. This is due to the fact that most applications, such as Windows Media Encoder, require the decode of DV data in the video from the DV camcorder or other device.
Related QuestionsCan I use WinRescue to backup my IDE hard drive to an external FireWire hard drive?
winrescue 95/98/me FaqWinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image. So, the harddrive's boot information is not backed up. Making a Boot Disk in WinRescue (95/98/ME) will save the boot information on a diskette.
Related QuestionsCan I use analog devices with FireStore?
Focus EnhancementsFireStore is a completely digital product. It does not feature analog I/O. However, FireStore is intended for use with DV devices that feature DV-to analog and analog-to-DV converters such as camcorders, decks, mixers and character generators. It is therefore possible to input or output video as an analog signal through these devices.
Related QuestionsWhat DV products can I use with FireStore?
Focus EnhancementsIt is possible to use FireStore with DV devices that feature a 25MB/s FireWire/IEEE-1394/DV/i.Link input/output. This means DV camcorders, VTRs, DV NLE systems, and mixers and character generators. Compatible DV camcorder and VTR formats include DV, miniDV, DVCam, DVCPro, Digital 8 and Professional DV. It is also possible to use FireStore with DV mixers (such as the Videonics MXProDV), character generators and long distance DV cables (such as Videonics Distance DV).

Related QuestionsWhat is Firewire?
FAQSFirewire is an emerging high speed communication interconnect standard defined by IEEE-1394. It was originally developed to connect PCs to other PCs or peripherals such as digital cameras, camcorders, scanners, etc. Current applications include automotive, telecom, data acquisition, aerospace and a host of others. An attractive advantage is that devices are hot pluggable (live connection/disconnection without data loss or interruption).
