Technology Overview

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a

define a new type of peripheral connection
scheme. It is designed to replace older parallel
and serial ports, cables, and connectors with
something faster and easier to use. USB is:
Easier -- Windows 98/MAC OS will
automatically recognize newly installed
devices.
Quicker -- You won't have to reboot when
installing.
Faster -- Top USB data speed is around 100
times faster than a serial connection.
Greater Expandability -- Using USB hubs
you can connect up to 127 devices to your
computer.
