Can the USB 1.1 be changed to the 2.0?
I have 4. 2 ea. 366 & 466.
Thought it may help.
Will the firewire duplicate some of the
USB functions, maybe faster.
Thank you, Leland

This Firewire is FW400 which runs at 400Mbps rather than USB 1.1 which runs at 12Mbps.
If you are connecting an external drive, make sure it has a FW connector.
The hardware does not support USB 2.0. Add a USB 2.0 external hub and it still runs at USB 1.1 at the iBook connector.
In order of speed (lowest first)
USB 1.0 -> USB 1.1 -> FW400 -> USB 2.0 -> FW800
1Mbps -> 12Mbps -> 400Mbps -> 480Mbps -> 800Mbps
But in the best tradition of all of these standards, YMMV.
