HI guys,

I'm a lurker here, but have been reading for quite awhile and learned many great tips from you all. Anyways, I'm doing a research paper on the future of FW and how it relates to products/recording in the MI industry.

I was hoping some of you might be able to give me a hand. I already understand the basics, and history and big players in the game and who makes great FW products, but maybe some of you have an idea as to what new types of interfaces, or connections you'd like to see, or if you seen recent documentation from Summer NAMM, if FW will be obsolete in a few years being fully replaced by USB 2.0 as the standard.

Are we making any progress with FW devices? is FW800 worth the time and money for companies to invest in? Any newer FW technologies out there that anyone is familiar with? thanks in advance guys!
