Improve Your "Peripheral Vision"
The Sonnet Tango™ 2.0 FireWire®/USB 2.0 PCI combo adapter card enables you to connect the latest devices to your computer, and provides you with unparalleled flexibility in choosing peripherals. Now you can expand your options to include DV camcorders, digital cameras, MP3 players, low-cost scanners and printers, high-speed drives, game controllers, PDAs, and more! And of course you can still use your existing USB 1.1 peripherals with the Tango 2.0. Add this powerful interface combo to your system and take advantage of the blazing speed of FireWire, and the economy of USB.
Easy Connections
The Tango 2.0 allows you to easily connect various FireWire and USB 2.0 devices, such as digital cameras and camcorders. Power is closely regulated throughout Tango 2.0, so devices drawing different, specific voltages on the FireWire and USB busses receive power at optimal levels at all times.
Faster Speeds
Take advantage of the latest peripheral devices with data transfer rates up to 400 Mbits/s for FireWire and 480 Mbits/s for USB 2.0.
Simple Installation
The Tango 2.0 easily installs into an available PCI slot of your computer and features hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection with automatic device configuration; no termination or device ID's required.
Technical Notes:
(1) High-speed USB 2.0 support requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later installed.
(2) Tango 2.0 does not support deep sleep in Power Mac G4 and G5 computers. Deep sleep removes power to PCI cards and is not supported by PCI cards that can connect to external devices.
