Just a word of caution here - do not assume that an ADB software dongle will work through an ADB/USB adaptor. I had such a dongle to use Ashlar Vellum 3D (CAD software) and bought such an adaptor (belkin from memory) - no go Belkin advised: > Thank you for contacting Belkin Components > > This is an incompatibility.

This may be different for other software dongles - I'd say it would be safest to check with either the software company or user forums to confirm. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
