This is a really neat device that VERY rapidly will copy files between
two Windows PCs by simply plugging the self-retracting cords between
their USB ports. Inside the device, a little computer tells the PCs
to run a file manager program built right into the device. Once it
boots, all you do is drag and drop files or whole directories of files
or groups of files from one computer's file list to the other on the
Tornado file manager....it's that easy!
For the price of a $4 ethernet crossover cable you can do the same
thing at 100 mb/sec.



Just plug it in like an old serial port?

Hmm...I thought it would take setting up for shared files, not just plug 'n
pray....

How do you get computer 1 to treat computer 2 like it's own disk drive with
that cable??

You don't. You need to set up shares on both computers and then treat
each like a node on a LAN.
