Yup, nothing wrong with USB2 (so long as it's not plugged and unplugged
too many times). I have lots of USB and no FW in use, never had an issue.
But somewhere I read that Firewire<->SCSI adapters were an easier and
simpler engineering prospect, and potentially less prone to driver issues
than USB2<->SCSI, because FW and SCSI were releated protocols. That's not
to say there are problems with USB2<->SCSI in practice, of course.
