I ordered a 2mb Visor on November 23rd.
I still haven't recieved it, but i have a question while I wait.

I run windows NT, which does not support USB, I didn't order a serial cradle figuring I'd figure out some way to sync until windows 2000 (which will be USB compatible) comes out.

Does anybody have any ideas, free or cheap, so that I can sync my visor with USB cradle to my NT computer?

Thanks.

I can't verify this claim, but here's some info to refute all that's been said on NT never, ever, being able to work with USB. Just remember, it's all a matter of mere programming. Don't let the idiots at Microsoft tell you that you HAVE to upgrade to WIN$2000 to use USB and have NT reliability. I've said my peace. Here's the info:There are companies who make USB adapters and drivers for Win NT 4.0. Inside Out Netowrks makes one they call the "Edgeport." Drivers for it are available for download from their website: www.ionetworks.com/support/epdrivers.html. I tried installing the driver in my Compaq Presario 1690 running NT 4.0 and they installed without any problem. "Devices" in Control Panel shows the USB device to be installed and the service is started. I haven't been able to test it yet, however, because the USB camera I have detects NT and won't install its software. I also uninstalled the driver without any problems and it did not appear to cause any problems in NT or leave anything behind after uninstalling it. You might check this driver out. I'll test if I can come up with another USB peripheral to try it with. If anyone has any success with this or any other driver, please post results here. BTW, there is a list of a number of companies that make USB drivers for various OS's here: www.allusb.com/products/P10276.html
