Obtain a USB hub that has several USB ports (available at electronics stores). Use the hub to connect the other USB devices. Now connect your Companion 5 speaker system to a USB port on the computer. You need to use the USB connection to provide audio processing for 5.1 digital sources, but you can also connect the audio output jack on your computer to the input on your Companion 5 control pod, using a 1/8-inch-stereo-male-to-1/8-inch-stereo-male audio cable.

The USB Mini Type A port and the supplied adapter cable are used to connect the PocketDISH to a USB mass storage device, such as a USB camera, card reader or flash drive. See similar questions...

Yeah, you can attach them, but they don't actually do anything. Kind of a bummer, too, since using that on-screen keyboard of theirs is kind of a pain -- we often aim off our letter when pressing the A button to type. If you've got the component cables you can "upscale" old games to 480p / EDTV. Not that it's going to look any better, but the display doesn't change back 480i or anything. See similar questions...

No, the USB port will support only one user. If you need to support multiple computers you need to use the Ethernet port and a hub/switch. See similar questions...

The remote turn-on lead that most head units will not provide very much current (usually 250-300mA), so there is a limit to the number of components you can activate with it. Generally, it is safe to hook up two devices to the lead without having to worry about problems. However, if you'll be activating more components, then you should probably use a relay.

The best answer to this is a firm "maybe". DOS device drivers are available for most USB and Firewire controllers. If such drivers are added to a DOS boot diskette so that your USB or Firewire drive is "seen" by DOS, SpinRite will also be able to "see" and operate with it. However, the performance of the drive through the DOS drivers and the serial (USB/Firewire) cable will likely be far lower than if the external drive were connected directly to a PC's motherboard controller.

At this time, only Windows/DOS FAT (vfat, fat32) are supported. If there is sufficient interest, we could investigate adding Linux ext2/ext3 support. (Contact us if you want this support to be added.) We do not support NTFS (NT, XP), HFS+ (Mac OS), or other formats; do not your USB device using those filesystem formats if you plan to use it on the Linux lab machines. See similar questions...

Yes. Desktop Authority allows you to centrally allow and/or deny devices based on device serial number, or VID/PID combination. See similar questions...

The 200E comes with a new type of power management; push the power button once when the system is ON tells the systm to go into suspend mode. You can modify this setting in the BIOS/Power Management settings under the option SOFT-OFF by PWR-BTTN. See similar questions...

This is becoming more of a common problem because a lot of computers are now coming out with just USB connections. The way around this is to either purchase a USB to Serial port converter, or contact the manufacturer of the product to see if they have a USB connection for the instrument. See similar questions...

Absolutely nothing at the moment. All three are disabled. Some people have reported that USB keyboards work, but it's not a supported feature. Others have also powered a PC cooling fan off the USB, but that really isn't necessary. Just keep it well ventilated and it'll be fine. See similar questions...

Windows 95: first, install the Microsoft OEMUSB driver, and then install the ALi USB drivers from the Super Package CD-ROM disc. See similar questions...

No USB Ports are required for this service. The Orbit Satnet Modem connects to your PC through the ethernet socket available. See similar questions...
