† Addonics has successfully tested
the Pocket DVD/CDRW using Direct power from PCMCIA, USB or Firewire ports
on various brands of Notebook and Desktop computers. However, Addonics does
not guarantee the Pocket DVD/CDRW to work with power directly from the computers
as the power from the connecting ports varies from different system manufacturers.
iLink is the Sony Firewire standard and does not provide power to the peripheral
device. Check with your system manufacturer for detail specification of
your Firewire port. When using CardBus/PCMCIA-USIB interface, only the PCMCIA
mode can provide direct power to the drive. However, operating in PCMCIA
model reduces the performance of the drive and results in lower frame rate
in playing DVD movie. The alternative is to use the AC/DC adapter or the
included USB power cable to get power from the computer to the drive when
operating the interface cable in CardBus mode. * Actual
speed varies depending on system hardware and type of interface connection.
USB 1.1 limits the USB connection to support maximum speed up to 4X only.
