The Sonnet Tango™ FireWire®/USB PCI combo card enables you to connect the latest devices to your PCI Macintosh, and provides you with unparalleled flexibility in choosing peripherals. Now you can expand your options to include new low-cost scanners and printers, high-speed mass storage, game controllers, digital cameras, MIDI devices, PDAs, and more. Connect a DV camcorder to one of Tango's FireWire ports, and you'll be editing and creating digital movie masterpieces right on your own computer! Also, unlike serial and SCSI devices, you'll be able to connect your peripherals while your system is on, with no need to worry about jumpers, switches, or termination.

Sonnet's Simply Fast design philosophy makes this installation a breeze; you'll complete the process in a few easy steps. Add this powerful interface combo to your Macintosh and take advantage of the blazing speed of FireWire, and the economy of USB.

Sonnet cards have unequaled ease-of-installation and reliability. The Sonnet families of upgrade and enhancement products work in every compatible Macintosh without the need for antiquated methods of hardware configuration. Free from switches, jumpers, and control panels, the Sonnet upgrade cards are Simply Fast.

Sonnet products are guaranteed to operate reliably over variations of machines, time, and temperature. The ability to move an upgrade card from one machine to another without the need to tweak any jumpers, switches, or control panels is a significant advantage to resellers and organizations that want to maximize their flexibility, while minimizing the long term technical support requirements.

The Tango easily installs into an available PCI slot of your computer and features hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection with automatic device configuration; no termination or device ID's required. (Your Macintosh logic board may vary from this illustration.)
