Works with old operating systems not 64bit

Works with old operating systems not 64bit

If you are using a 64bit system, don't bother with this. Belkin appear to be living in another world.

Works fine for me.

Works fine for me.

Once I managed to get the packaging open I had it all up and running within 15 minutes. The software installation was simple. It took a bit of fiddling around to get all the devices settled and communicating. I had assumed that the switching was...

Decent software switching USB switch for Windows

This works well for using USB devices between two computers. You can use it for printers, USB masstorage devices or pretty much anything else. The software is easy to use, it sits in your system tray and you right click and select to "claim" the device...

Pathetic: says it works for Mac OSX - but doesn't

Pathetic: says it works for Mac OSX - but doesn't

As other reviewers have noted, this does not work on Macs (Intel-based, at least - but these have been standard for years now). I am still incredulous that Belkin can market a product as being compatible with Mac OSX, when it clearly is not.

Good little peripheral switch

Great little device once installed. Software switch-over is easy. Would be 5 star if it weren't for the relatively poor set-up instructions and hours of wasted time trying to get one of my lap-tops working with it. Turns out this switch is power...

It does work

It does work

I have just ordered another one by mistake as I thought the one given me had malfunctioned. However, it seems to have been the old confused boot up sequence that was to blame. This can scupper other devices too occasionally. It will work with the...
