DUOCONNECT DATA SHEET Adaptec DuoConnect Combo FireWire and USB 2.0 Card (R) The 2-in-1 card for connecting today's fastest peripherals Satisfy your need for speed -- times two! Why buy two PCI cards when you can get all the high-speed connectivity you need using one Adaptec(R) DuoConnectTM PCI card? With FireWire(R) and USB 2.0 connections on a single card, you save both money and a valuable PCI slot. And with the included video editing software, you can easily create Video CDs from your home movies! For speed and ease-of-use, you'll get where you want to go twice as fast with DuoConnect. Take advantage of FireWire peripherals FireWire is as hot as its name suggests, supporting data speeds up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps). That made FireWire/1394/i.LINK the standard for multimedia input devices such as digital video (DV) cameras, high-speed storage devices, scanners, CD-RW, and DVD drives. In fact, you can "daisy chain" up to 62 peripherals from the two external FireWire ports on your DuoConnect PCI card. Speed up your connection to peripherals with USB 2.0 USB 2.0 combines high-speed performance with the plug-and-play simplicity that has made USB peripherals so popular. USB 2.0 products - including external CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, hard drives, and scanners - can run at up to 480 Mbps.* That's 40 times faster than today's USB 1.1 peripherals.** DuoConnect's three external ports provide maximum compatibility to thousands of current USB 1.1 and high-speed USB 2.0 devices. Includes Adaptec USBControlTM Utility Take control of your USB configuration with the Adaptec USBControl Utility. Its friendly and intuitive interface shows where all your devices are connected and how they're performing, simplifies troubleshooting and more. Product Highlights Create your own movies* Get in on the fun of digital video (DV) movie making. Attach a FireWire-compatible DV camcorder to your FireConnect for Notebooks adapter.
