Determining what your computer supports

Checking for USB support

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to
communicate with the PC. A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial
connection, increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec.
USB requires special computer hardware and software features, including a USB
enabled motherboard, USB connections, and WINDOWS 98. Most computers
manufactured prior to January 1997 do not meet these requirements.
To determine if your computer supports a USB connection:
1
Verify that a USB connector is present.
This connector is normally on the back of the computer.
2
Right-click the My Computer icon.
3 Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.
4
Verify the operating system is WINDOWS 98.
5 Click the Device Manager tab.
6
Verify that the Universal Serial Bus Controller is present without any yellow
or red indicators.
7 Click on Universal Serial Bus Controller.
8
Verify that a controller and USB Root hub are listed.
9
Double-click on USB Root hub.
10 Verify that device status is "The device is working properly."
If all of the above conditions are met, your computer supports a USB
connection.
