Six max.
Except for the fact that your "TBolt peripherals" will really be "USB 3.0 peripherals connected throught a TBolt controller and a $50 cable to your system".
Wouldn't a couple of USB 3.0 ports on your computer make a lot more sense?
TBolt will be interesting for some niche controllers, but for 98.314159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510% of the users native USB 3.0 would be a much better solution.
There's some serious voodoo in those active TBolt cables, that's for sure. Ya' gotta' pay the man.
Love it - mouse with two cables to fit in the daisy chain!
I don't believe that any TBolt devices have shipped to the general public.
Not really - TBolt is an external opaque transport to connect external PCIe devices.
There are no TBolt peripherals, only PCIe peripherals.
So, tell the Apple fans that TBolt doesn't exist, that it's nonsensical. (I agree with you here - that's the point that I've been trying to make.) I shudder at the ignorance whenever I see a serious comment about someone wanting a TBolt mouse.
