On 2001-06-25, Jason Stewart scribbled: # Actually, in practice, parallel port in ECP mode can be a bit faster than # USB. USB has a maximum throughput of 1.5 megabytes per second (900kb/SEC # for one device), Parallel port does about 1.2 megabytes per sec. The only # way that USB can utilize the full 1.5 MegaBytes/Sec is if you have multiple # USB devices. If you only have a single device parallel port can be faster. Why not go SCSI ;-) -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
