Kroc CamenReminder that <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USB</a> is, and always was, a bad design; as usual for Intel. We had <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Firewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firewire</a>, a true bus, and not the worst option of many, polling, like USB. We could have had everything USB-C offers now -- reversible plugs, power-negotiation, multi-protocol -- with Firewire decades ago if USB hadn't taken over. Firewire even had Ethernet-over-Firewire, at 400MBps, fifteen years before Thunderbolt would do the same.Firewire didn't need a different plug for the computer-side and for the device-side (USB-A & USB-B) because it was a true bus. You could hook any two devices together via a normal Firewire cable and you'd get instant two-way communication. This is how the PS2 did link-play. USB pushed the workload on to the computer. USB-C solves the "who is the host and who is the client?" problem by putting a tiny *computer* into the cable, that's how insane USB has become.Firewire has been gone so long now that most <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a> users probably don't even know that you could plug a Mac into another computer via Firewire, power it on holding T and the internal disk drive would appear *as an external HDD* to the other computer.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>
