Only in German: http://www.pearl.de/a-PE187-1414.shtml?query=USB data link It says there is no driver or software installation necessary. When connected, a data transfer program will open automatically. Does this mean there is some program that is executed automatically when connecting, or is this just the usual Windows feature that opens a new drive and shows its contents? > I'm very unclear how this could be achieved without drivers. Me too, after some thinking I believe this will not be what I need. How would the cable know the location where to store data it receives from the other client? Wonko
