WinMe and USB2 Sockets
If two computers connected with USB2
cable, Will it work to transfer of files. Both ends of the cable are same or some adapter is needed to convert the cable to different ends? Advice is appreciated |

Is that a "No" to being able to transfer files or needing an adapter?

Just to expand/discuss a little on David's rather brief answer........
Is is sorta possible to use a USB cable for data transfer - but only with a special cable and only with special software (which effectively makes the cable into a network link). The combined cost of cable and software is likely to be more than that of a small HD or large USB stick which could do the job at about the same speed, and leave you with a decent bit of useful hardware afterwards. So.... yes it's possible - but no, it's not a realistic option in the longer term. (and a pretty poor option in the short term!) Belkin make/made a dedicated link for XP, with which it was/is supposed to be possible to transfer data/settings from a machine to the (new) XP one.... I was never convinced that the MS F.A.S.T software really worked properly anyhow so never tried it - but the cable may work for an ME-ME transfer if you're lucky? It would however be horrendously slow if the ME machines are only USB1.... 4MB/s as an upper limit on speed really is a severe bottleneck! -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "AAH" wrote in message ...

Assuming both machines run ME, is that feature supported as it is in Vista? I seem to recall something to the effect that it must be, Noel. Curious to know myself. Harry.

Not a Chance, I'm afraid - a lot of stuff comes from the registry, and it's
very different between Vista and ME (and I goofed in my earlier post, as the gizmo was for XP and Vista rather than ME and XP - I have no idea what happens if you plug it into win9x systems!!) -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "webster72n" wrote in message ...

That was the reason I asked, because I tried to follow through on this earlier myself and gave up because it can't work. Hopefully AAH reads this.
