Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FireWire devices are hot-swappable, meaning they can be connected and disconnected while the computer is on without causing damage or requiring a restart. Option A is incorrect because data is transferred using a serial bus. Option B is partially correct, as 1394b allows up to 16 daisy-chained devices, but this is not the only standard and FireWire 800 actually uses a 9-pin connector. Option C is also incorrect for this reason.
