Key feature: Driverless-no driver preinstallation required for Win-2000, ME, Window XP, and Mac OS 9 and above.  Only Windows 98/SE needs the FlashDio driver.  Free upgrade to a secured version (encryption/password protection) by a simple download (15KB) , for more details, or to down load entire manual (7.9MB).  As of May 1, 2002, the new FlashDio comes with the encryption software, it's also USB 2.0 compliant*.  The encryption software can be used to encrypt folders (or files) on any harddrives on your PC (including those on FlashDio) while the FlashDio is plugged into the USB port; in other words, FlashDio can also be used as a KEY to lock any sensitive folders (or files) on your PC, those encrypted folders (or files) can not be read when the FlashDio is removed.  The encrypted folders (or files) stored on FlashDio can only be read when the correct password is provided.  Whether to use the encryption is totally up to the user, without installing the encryption software, FlashDio will function only as an external removable hard drive.

*** The details of the Encryption algorithm can be found at: http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/aesfact.html
