SOYO BayOne Extreme |
|
Designed to fit in a desktop's 5.25-inch drive bay, the BayOne Extreme expansion bay features two parts. The nonremovable front panel offers three USB 2.0 ports, an audio line-in jack, an audio line-out jack, and a microphone jack. The detachable media reader/writer fits inside the front panel. You can use it in the front panel or you can press a button to eject the media reader/writer unit. When it's detached, you can connect the media reader/writer to another desktop or notebook system using the included USB cable. The media reader/writer features four slots that accommodate nine types of flash media. The combinations include one slot for CF (CompactFlash) type I/II and IBM Micro Drive media, a second slot for MS (Memory Stick) and MS Pro media, a third slot for SD (Secure Digital) and MMC (MultiMediaCard) media, and a fourth slot for SM (Smart Media) card media. You can transfer data to and from cards inserted in the different slots, as well as your computer. To use the BayOne Extreme expansion bay, you need a PC with an available 5.25-inch bay, Windows 98 Second Edition/Me/2000/XP, and a motherboard with four internal USB connectors and an internal audio jack connector. The device attaches to your system through these motherboard connections. SOYO packages the expansion drive with the parts you need to install the device, including two internal USB cables, an internal audio jack connection cable, screws to mount the front panel, and an installation guide. An external USB cable is also included for use with the detachable media reader/writer unit. The device comes with a one-year warranty and email support.  by Carmen Carmack |
