You can also print from a printer that is attached to either computer. Select the STD mode in Smart Connect 3.0 software to connect with another computer that has Windows Me preinstalled.

Connecting with an i.LINK cable

i.LINK cable

Windows 2000

The preinstalled Smart Connect software allows you to use an i.LINK® cable (optional) to connect your VAIO notebook to another VAIO computer that also has Smart Connect or preinstalled Windows Me. You can then use one computer to edit, copy or delete files on the other computer. You can also print from a printer attached to either computer.

See Smart Connect online help for more information.

✍When you connect two VAIO computers, you must assign each computer a unique name. The computers can be identified by this unique name when the two computers are networked together.

*i.LINK is a SONY trademark used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not communicate with each other.
