USB Hard Drives and Portable Hard Drives

Overview Personal computers are used for a wide range of applications and many new devices have been developed since IBM's original two serial port personal computer some twenty years ago. Scanners, portable hard drives, Zip drives, and force-feedback joysticks are just a few examples of devices appearing on the desktop. Although attempts have been made to provide more serial ports on a single PC, there is no real standard that has gained widespread acceptance. SCSI seemed to be the solution of choice for many vendors of scanners and external drives, however, interface cards and devices were expensive and the standard lacked unity. Therefore, many began work on specifications for new interconnecting solutions, such as firewire and USB.
