1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Attaché

If you want to transfer data from one computer to another, what do you do? Do you take one or

more boxes of floppy disk with you or do you take your hard drive with you? You may send e-

mail, but it takes a lot of time to download if you have a large amount of data.

Now, here is a solution, the PNY Attaché (USB Flash Drive). Accessing and transporting data has

never been easier with the Attaché. The Attaché is a portable, removable hard disk drive with

USB connection that’s plug and play. Simply plug into any USB port and the computer will

automatically detect it as a flash disk drive. Now you can read, write, copy, delete and move data

from your hard disk drive to the Attaché or from the Attaché to your hard disk drive. You can

even play MP3 files, run applications or view videos directly from the Attaché.

The Attaché is so compact that you can carry it with you anywhere and hardly notice its

existence. It also comes in various storage capacities of 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB.

Now, you don’t have to carry a laptop computer with you to work, if you have access to a

computer. The Attaché does not require any battery, it does not need any software or cable and is

compatible with USB enabled desktop and laptop computers.

No more carrying around work in a laptop computer and no more floppy disks
are required.
PNY Attaché is your solution; PNY Attaché is the future.
Thank you for choosing PNY Attaché – Let Our Memory Capture Your
Memories™.

4 FAQs

To see the latest FAQs, go to PNY website www.pny.com. A few of these FAQs are listed below.

Q1: After the installation is complete, why can’t I find the USB device correctly?

A1: Check USB controller option in the BIOS settings, make sure it is enabled.

Q2: What can be stored on my Attaché?

A2: Once your Attaché is plugged into your system, it works just like your hard drive.

So any type of data can be stored, erased, copied, or read from it like music files, documents,

emails, pictures, movies, the list of different uses for USB Flash Disk is endless.

Q3: Does the Attaché require a driver to be manually installed on each machine?

A3: Windows ME, 2000, and XP all support without any need to install drivers. Attaché is

100% plug and play. Just insert your Attaché and your computer sees as a new hard drive.

Only for Windows 98SE do you need to install a driver. The Windows 98SE drivers are provided

with the USB Flash Disk and are available at our website. The Attaché currently does

not have support for Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT or Windows CE.

Q4: My Windows ME / 2000 / XP cannot detect my device, what can I do?

A4: Since there is no driver required for these operating systems, the device uses the built- in driver

(USB Mass Storage Class Driver) from these operating systems. If your operating system cannot

find the device, then it is very likely that the built- in driver files were missing or corrupted;

please try to recover these files from other computer or from the original Windows operating

system CD. Should you still having problem, please try the method in A1, or contact one of our

technical staff.

Q5: Can the Attaché be shared over a network?
A5: Yes, Attaché offers all the functions of a normal hard drive.

Q6: What is the function of the Attaché’s LED?
A6: When you are transferring data the LED will flash indicating the Attaché is in use and is

"busy" writing or reading data. Because some operating systems use write cache, please be sure

the LED is not flashing when you unplug it. Unplugging the Attaché while it is busy will

result in lost data and computer errors.
