EASY TO USE
Installs in seconds! Hot plug to any computer equipped with a USB2 or USB1 connection. Nero Mastering software package included. Create, customize and compile your own CDs using the ‘Drag & Drop’ feature. This device also doubles as a standard audio CD player.

What is a USB2/USB1 connection, and would I be likely to have one??

If your PC is fairly recent, no more than about 3 years old, and running Windows 98 or above, then yes you should have USB connections on the back (or sometimes on the front as well). They're about the width of the telephone connection but half the depth. You'll also need to buy a cable if the sotware doesn't provide one, places like Comet or PC World sell them, or buy one online.

 

After that, all you do is attach the device to one end, plug the other into the PC and away you go, the operating system does the rest.

Yep, I know the ones. My PC is four years old, but I think my scanner is plugged into one. (There's a little diagram of a 'trident' looking thing next to them?)

 

Cheers, Rob!

That's the one! If you've run out of connections you can buy a 'hub' that allows you to connect several USB devices to one port (connection). Available at most electrical stores.

Excellent stuff! Cheers!!
