Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FireWire devices are designed to be hot-swappable, meaning they can be connected or disconnected from the computer while it is running without causing any damage or disruption to the system. Option A is incorrect because data is actually transferred on a serial bus. Option B is partially correct, but FireWire 800 introduced in 2003 can allow up to 63 devices to be daisy-chained. Option C is also incorrect as FireWire 800 uses a 9-pin connector.
