USB The USB Port, shown in Figure 2-1, is where you will connect
your USB cable. To work with USB ports, your computer must
be running Windows 98SE, 2000, Millennium, or XP.
The USB icon shown in Figure 2-2 marks a USB port on a
PC or device.
Your USB Adapter comes with a USB cable that has two different types of con-
nectors, as shown in Figure 2-3. Type A, the master connector, is shaped like a
rectangle and plugs into your computer’s USB port. Type B, the slave connec-
tor, resembles a square and connects to the USB port on the USB Adapter.
