I have searched this site and many others looking for a way to "split" or mirror data from an USB device (bar code scanner)to two computers. We need to do a parallel cut-over from a legacy asset management system (whose interface, at each loading dock,...

I would use the YUN Arduino board to provide a REST service that reports the results of the device to as many callers as needed. These &lt; $100.00 and provide all of hardware needed to interface a USB device to the Network. Given that you have the LAN as a part of the project and LAN solution would work well.

You could use it on multiple computers but the data can not be shared between computers. I use my own personal laptop at school so that allows me to scan both at home and school.

While this may work, it is not recommended or supported. We take data protection very seriously and USB hubs can add reliability issues. What you can do is employ multiple Sync devices as our software will "virtualize" the many physical devices and give you a single folder view of your files whether you have one or hundreds of Transporters.

No. This is to put into your mac book so that it can use two HDD. This is by no means a way to retrieve data. Your going to need to find software to do what you are looking for.

That's what I am using right now. Replace the rotating dasd with solid state. Wish I could do that on my desktop. I am not sure what that PC model is, but it will work. You must have a way to copy ALL data from old drive C:. I used some purchased utility to help. To be done only if you know what you are doing.

This unit has a single (one) usb port, you could try to use a splitter but I could not say it would work. You should contact the manufacturer (TP link) on this.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

There should be no reason why that cannot be accomplished. If you've never attached anything to your USB port, your computer will acknowledge that and d/l software, if needed, for that specific device. I am sure you've heard of........plug-n-play? That is what should happen. As long as you have a sound card to deliver it and drivers to make them hand-shake.....no worries.

USB - yes, the setup instructions show you how to connect the cable. Scan to computer - yes ... I believe that there is a brother scan utility however I use Irfanview, my favorite (free) graphics app to pull scans from our machine.

You can buy from Apricorn, $10 plus tax & shipping. You can also use a Y splitter USB cable. I had an older one for their EZ GigII that I had forgotten I had bought, so ordered the Y cable--which can also be used for other devices. So I have both, and ended up using the power supply. My problem is that I have a Dell laptop, and Apricorn software did not do an exact clone, leaving out the Dell partition, thus the resultant drive would not boot, missing the boot sector. Ended up using EaseUS, after trying WD Acronis and Partition Wizard, without success. So the Apricorn ended up just being an expensive enclosure.

This unit is only designed to copy 2 duplicate USBs from one master USB. I do not believe it is designed recognize a USB hub to take place of one of the slots to duplicate a USB. I'm attempting it now with 2 gb worth of data ... it has taken 33 minutes and is only 45% finished. It is really bogging down.

I haven't tried it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be it's just a USB interface. I hope to talk to my Macintosh and it worked within seconds

This is only meant to mirror the picture between two displays. It will not create a second workspace or extension of your current monitor. This is meant for creating two monitors with the same picture. If you are looking to work with two monitors at the same time with different programs open on each of them. You will need either a video card with two outputs on it or two separate video cards. Does this make sense?

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

i honestly wouldn't recommend you purchasing this product at all, is just a total waste of time and money. you will be lucky if two usb port work on this thing.

Yes this will work all u have to do is a restore. If that doesn't work just save all data on usb drive. Then transfer data. That's what I had to do because I had 1 corrupt file so it wouldn't restore but saving on the usb worked

By "splitter" I hope you mean a USB hub... Those work fine for me for low power devices, just remember the repeater used some of the power of the port it is plugged into... so higher powered devices like card readers and battery chargers may not work without a powered hub with it's own power pack... Potentially, some fancy keyboards may not get enough power because of backlights or other extra features. (I have not noticed this with any mice) Hope that helps someone...
