USB to USB Data Transfer

[w0lf42]

I stumbled upon this link and recalled someone I know that has been looking for a simple way to transfer files between two computers. This person does not have a hub/switch/etc nor a nic in one of the machines.

Does anyone have any words of advice for either this particular piece of hardware or similar ones?

Thanks in Advance

I'm sure it would work -- but if you have a USB cable, you can just use the Networking Wizard to set up a peer-to-peer network over USB. Or you could get a USB key drive and transfer the files that way. Or burn them onto CD-R/RWs...

I know you can do it with parallel cables. It's only about 4 mbit though

buy a $15 100megabit nic and a $5 crossover cable.
