Instead of buying two separate cards, get all the high-speed connectivity you need with just one Adaptec® DuoConnect CardBus for Notebooks. With FireWire® and USB 2.0 connections in a single card, you save money and only need to carry one card when you travel. For speed and ease-of-use, you'll get where you want to go twice as fast with the DuoConnect CardBus for notebooks. At 400 megabits per second, the FireWire/1394 standard is ideal for multi- media input devices such as digital video (DV) camcorders, and high-speed storage devices, scanners, and CD-RW drives. In fact, you can "daisy chain" up to 62 peripherals from the two external FireWire ports on your DuoConnect card. USB 2.0 combines high-speed performance with the plug-and-play simplicity that has made USB peripherals so popular. USB 2.0 products include external hard drives, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, and scanners that can run at up to 480 Mbps. That's 40 times faster than USB 1.1 peripherals! DuoConnect CardBus for Notebooks has two external ports that provide maximum compatibility and connectivity to the newest USB 2.0 devices as well as USB 1.1 devices.   Product Description   2-port USB 2.0 and 2-port FireWire combination card for Laptop PCs System Environment   Notebook Benefits   Combination FireWire and USB 2.0 Card Bus Card Full USB-IF Hi-Speed Certification IEEE 1394 FireWire Compliant   Key Differentiators   Combination FireWire and USB 2.0 card   Data Transfer Rate   USB 1.1 OHCI: up to 12 Mbps USB 2.0 EHCI: up to 480 Mbps FireWire (IEEE 1394) OHCI: up to 400 Mbps   External Connectors   Two USB 2.0 ports Two FireWire ports: one 4-pin and one 6-pin Bus Type   Card Bus System Requirements   Basic PC system requirements: 400 MHz or faster processor 64 MB RAM Microsoft® Windows® 2000, or XP Cardbus slot CD-ROM drive Package Contains   AUA-1422 Adaptec DuoConnect for Notebooks CardBus (AUA-1422, 1 4-pin FireWire, 1 6-pin FireWire, 2 USB 2.0 ports) Hardware installation guide CD containing: -USB 2.0 drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows XP - User’s guide - Warranty information Warranty   5-year manufacturing and materials warranty Supported Operating Systems Supported Operating Systems   Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows XP
