[Dx4win] Backup Of Logbook to Floppy

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 07:10:43 -0700

Ditto for the USB drives.  If you are running Windows ME, 2000, or XP 
just plug the small
(.5"x1"x2" approx.) device into any USB port and voila you have another 
disk drive that you
can copy files to and from.  If you are running Windows 98 or 98SE I 
think you need a small
device driver for the same functionality.  By the way these devices are 
generally know as
"Thumb drives" since they are approximately that size.  Biggest problem 
may be physically
misplacing the drive since it it so small.  I bought a couple Sandisk 
256MB drives for about
$60 each.
