i really want one

Can't you do it the same with just an Ethernet cord?  I think I've heard that you can.


RE: USB trasnfers by RaceProUK on 07-18-2005 at 09:13 PM

It's possible with virtually any connection method, be it Ethernet, USB, Firewire, WiFi, IR, RS232, etc.

wtf [Image: xso_undecided.gif] please tell me why you dont just use a cross over cable?


RE: USB trasnfers by lizard.boy on 07-19-2005 at 05:31 AM

shoulnt a standard usb a-a cable work? you just need software.


RE: USB trasnfers by Vilkku on 07-19-2005 at 06:21 AM

The cable needs to have some thingy in the middle I heard, if it looks like the one in the pic it won't work.


RE: USB trasnfers by Pyroteq on 07-19-2005 at 09:15 AM

Yes.. that is allready made, a wiser choice would just be to go for an crossover cable.


RE: USB trasnfers by saralk on 07-19-2005 at 09:56 AM

I think that a crossover cable connection would be a lot cheaper, my dad got it and he is a n00b so he probably asked the computer guy and the computer guy thaught "KERCHING" and sold him the most expensive thing he had.

o well it was just a random idea i had i didnt think it would be real ...but i guess it is and its called a cross over cable...? ok well ill look around for that in stores


RE: USB trasnfers by saralk on 07-19-2005 at 06:08 PM

no, a crossover cable is the one used in networks, both computers need an ethernet port for it to work.

A USB Transfer Cable is what you were asking about, but it will be more expensive, and probable slower


RE: USB trasnfers by [MR] on 07-19-2005 at 06:12 PM

o well
