What is the maximum number of devices that can be connected with IEEE 1394a?

  1. 63 devices

  2. 127 devices

  3. 32 devices

  4. 16 devices

The correct answer is: 63 devices

IEEE 1394a, also known as FireWire, is a type of connection that allows devices to communicate with each other at high speeds. It is commonly used for external storage devices, cameras, and audio interfaces. The maximum number of devices that can be connected with IEEE 1394a is 63. This is because the technology uses a daisy-chain configuration, which allows up to 63 devices to be connected to a single bus. Option B, 127 devices, is incorrect as it exceeds the maximum limit. Option C, 32 devices, is incorrect because this limit is for the newer version IEEE 1394b. Option D, 16 devices, is incorrect as it is the limit for another type of connection called USB.
