Question - USB connection on puter???
OK I know there are enough puter nerds on here to answer this one, and at this hour!!! :bounce:bounce
Not that Tandy or anyone else is open now for me to run out to!!
Can you buy adaptors for the ends of USB going into the puter
I have 2 spare ports but connection is wrong size!!!
I have my cable for the video in one OK but just got a Canon digital SLR and was hoping to download some pics:cry:cry
Any answers????
Hmmm, would the cable that I use on the video camera work OK if it's other end fits in the camera???
Nothing is going to explode on me is it???

Wrong Size ?
A firewire cable (Sometime called 1394) looks a bit like a usb but is a different size.
Have a look in the camera maual and see if it is 1394.
NERDS ??? - oh you mean everyone but me - that ok then

mmm
All USB ports are the same these days. If you have spare ports I am guessing they are not USB.
If you have a USB port and have your Video plugged in then you can unplug it and put the camera USB cable in there while the computer is on.
What do the spare ports look like ? Do they have pins or what ?

The very last group in Device manager should be:

As long as you have one USB port you can always buy a USB hub to add more connections
For example:
http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/3fa8f3b1022280c2273fc0a87f9c0758...
I'm not endorsing the above product, never tried that brand, just knew I could find a picture at that site that might explain a little better
what I mean.
