Offering versatile interface compatibility, the following interface cables are
available for connecting the SmartDup duplicator system to a computer with the
same available interface type:

The following steps will guide you through the setup for using the SmartDup as an
external duplicator system with your computer. Although the instructions given are
written specifically for the USB 1.1 interface cable, they should basically be the same
procedures for all interface types.
