You’re thinking of firewire, and that was not proprietary. Sony came up with that. I had a mini disc player with a firewire port. And thunderbolt, which is what they use now, is an evolution on firewire made by Apple, Sony, and Intel.
Both firewire and thunderbolt are superior to USB.
Got a Firewire port on my PS2. The only thing I've ever owned with Firewire and I never even used it.
I always wanted a way to use that jack, still have no clue what it was for
I believe it was only utilized by Gran Turismo 3 for connecting two systems to play against each other. Nobody else developed for it.
