The DuoConnect adapter is a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI adapter and
works in any 2.1 or later PCI slot. It enables you to connect USB 1.1
(OHCI), USB 2.0 (EHCI), and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices to your
PC-compatible or Macintosh computer.

USB 2.0 is the fastest USB standard, capable of transferring data at
up to 480 megabits per second. USB 2.0 devices are compatible
with USB 1.1 devices.

FireWire is a serial bus protocol similar to USB 2.0. It transfers data
at speeds of up to 400 megabits per second and is used with
computer peripherals as well as with consumer electronics, such as
digital video cameras and game consoles.

This User’s Guide explains how to install your AUA-3020
DuoConnect Adapter in a PCI slot and how to install its associated
drivers. It also describes how to connect your AUA-3020 to a USB
device and a digital video camera.
