Connecting Peripherals

The vast majority of computer peripherals today (printers, scanners, external
storage devices, digital cameras, digital camcorders, MP3 players, modems,
mice, keyboards, audio equipment, etc.) have either a USB or a FireWire inter-
face––or both.
With its built-in USB 2.0 and FireWire hubs, mini Pal allows you to connect
a whole arsenal of USB and FireWire devices to your computer, while also
affording you a great deal of flexibility and choice.
Although instructions for connecting USB and FireWire devices are provided
separately in this guide, you can have both USB and FireWire devices connected
to mini Pal at the same time.
