Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its
"Windows Update" Web page is installed.
• To obtain the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer speed, "USB2.0 MODE

that is running Windows 2000/XP.
• Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is used, it may not be
possible to obtain full USB 2.0 speed if a PC card supporting USB 2.0
is used. To obtain the latest driver (which may enable a higher
speed), contact the manufacturer of your PC card.
