*Addonics has successfully tested the Pocket DVD/CDRW using Direct power from PCMCIA, USB or Firewire ports on various
brands of Notebook and Desktop computers. However, Addonics does not guarantee the Pocket DVD/CDRW to work with power
directly from the computers as the power from the connecting ports varies from different system manufacturers. iLink is the Sony
Firewire standard and does not provide power to the peripheral device. Check with your system manufacturer for detail
specification of your Firewire port. When using CardBus/PCMCIA-USIB interface, only the PCMCIA mode can provide direct power
to the drive. However, operating in PCMCIA model reduces the performance of the drive and results in lower frame rate in playing
DVD movie. The alternative is to use the AC/DC adapter or the included USB power cable to get power from the computer to the
drive when operating the interface cable in CardBus mode.
