Unless this "OS" the drive is running is using the USB as a paired send and receive. Seen some Cisco gear that would take several varied connections, 56K, ISDN, Frac T and then combine them up to increase the overall speed. That could be an interesting item if they have some how bound two USB controllers together to increase the throughput to the system. I agree, want Manufacturer and Model Numbers, need to do some research.
