CardBus (PC Card)

CardBus is the 32-Bit version of PC Card technology. Enabled in the February 1995 release of the PC Card Standard, CardBus allows speeds of up to 133 Mbps at 33MHz. Zoomed Video is a connection between a PC Card and host system that allows the card to write video data directly to the VGA controller. The data is transferred with no buffering requirements because it is transferred over the ZV bus and not the system bus.

HyperTransport

AMD and API Networks have developed HyperTransport - it was the leading contender to replace the PCI bus, but PCIe has replaced the PCI bus. The current HyperTransport spec (in 2001) calls for an aggregate bandwidth of 6.4 GB per second in a 16-bit configuration, and 12.8 Gb/sec in a 32-bit configuration. In contrast, 32-bit PCI starts at less than 133 MB/second, and scales to only 533 MB/sec at 64-bit configurations HyperTransport is 24 times faster than regular PCI, out of the gate. HyperTransport is software compatible with PCI - vendors will not have to rewrite their PCI device drivers.

U3 - USB

U3 devices are USB devices that can execute (some) programs. U3 devices can be used to fix non-booting computers, and run "mobile" applications.US Information - PC World

IBM UltraPort

IBM UltraPort uses standard USB signalling but provides more power to run devices. UltraPort uses a proprietary connection standard. UltraPort was an old USB 1.1 thing on some IBM laptops and not used anywhere else. In fact it was at the top of the screen and not down on the main body of the laptop.

Ultra-Wideband (UWB)

The first HD broadcast products to be available for purchase should be UWB products. UWB transmits in bursts, over a wide frequency range of from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz. UWB has a throughput of 480Mbps, and is expected to support Bluetooth 3.0, Wirelesss USB and other applications.

USB / USB 1.1 / USB 2.0 / USB 3.0

There are three data rates supported by USB, but USB 3.0 is coming very soon. NOTE: USB 2.0 "Full-Speed" is just marketing-ese for USB 1.1. Both provide a maximum 12Mbps (1.5 MiB/s) transfer rate, rather than the 480 Mbps (57 MiB/s) of full USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed). Low Speed rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (183 KiB/s) is mostly used for slow interface devices, such as keyboards and mice. Maximum length of USB cables is about 16 feet. If you want longer cable runs, you need to buy a $20 active USB extender.
