The normal transfer
speed between two Windows NT/2000/XP computers (ECP-ECP)
is currently about 500 000 bytes a second.
The two computers need not have the same parallel port mode
selected!
The speed is always limited by the slowest parallel port mode!
99,5% of all 386-486 Pentium and PII PIII..., Cyrix, AMD, mono and
multi processor based computer, running DOS Windows3.x, Windows for
Workgroups,
Windows 95,98,ME,NT4 or Windows 2000..., can be connected with
Powercopy.
If you want to use Powercopy without sharing it with your printers you
can buy an additional addon card at us or in almost every computer
store.
To use the file transfer feature every PC has to have at least one
parallel printer interface.
