The IEEE 1394 interface (although the 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface) is a serial bus interface standard, for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer, frequently used in a personal computer (and digital audio and digital video). The interface is also known by the brand names of FireWire (Apple's name) and i.LINK (Sony's name). FireWire has replaced Parallel SCSI in many applications, due to lower implementation costs and a simplified, more adaptable cabling system.
IEEE 1394 has been adopted as the High Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) standard connection interface for A/V (audio/visual) component communication and control[1]. FireWire is also available in wireless, fiber optic, and coaxial versions using the isochronous protocols.
Almost all modern digital camcorders have included this connection since 1995, as do the vast majority of high end professional audio interfaces.
Since 2003 many computers intended for home or professional audio/video use have built-in FireWire/i.LINK ports, including all Sony computers, all but one of Apple's computers (the new MacBook Air), and many of its older iPods.
It is also available on many retail motherboards.

Microsoft 1394 Design Guide
A driver for a device that connects to the IEEE 1394 bus sits on top of the IEEE 1394 driver stack.
The driver communicates to the device by sending IRPs to the IEEE 1394 bus driver, which the operating system provides as 1394bus.sys. The bus driver provides a hardware-independent interface to the IEEE 1394 bus. The bus driver handles some IRPs, and forwards some to the port driver for the motherboard's host controller.
Microsoft provides a...

1394 / Firewire @ Wikipedia
FireWire is Apple Inc.'s proprietary name for the IEEE 1394 interface (and also in the UK a colloquial industrial term for 'LHDC' (linear heat detecting cable) used in high integrity fire detection systems). It is also known as i.Link (Sony’s name) or IEEE 1394 (although the 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface). It is a personal computer (and digital audio/digital video) serial bus interface standard, offering high-speed...

Quick Overview of IEEE 1394
The IEEE 1394 high-speed serial bus promises to revolutionize the transport of digital data for computers and for professional and consumer electronics products.
By providing an inexpensive non-proprietary high-speed method of interconnecting digital devices, a truly universal I/O connection has been created.
