Technology Overview
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. USB is a
standard that has been adopted by leading
manufacturers within the computer industry to
define a new type of peripheral connection
scheme. USB is designed to replace older parallel
and serial ports, cables and connectors with
somethingthatis faster andeasierto use. USBhas
the following advantages:
?? Easier --Windows 98, Me and 2000
automatically recognize newly installed
devices without rebooting.

?? Speed -- 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.
?? Hot Swappable –Plug in the new device and
go!
