LocoBuffer-USB Optical Isolation: Your best investment — Keep your system up and running through ground loops, spikes, and surges. Rogue currents and ground loops can wreak havoc with your data, and even damage your PC or connected devices. The LocoBuffer-USB provides 2,500 VAC of optical isolation between the LocoNet® and your USB port.
Connect the LocoNet
® to any computer supporting USB interfaces. (Windows 98SE, NT, XP, Vista - Mac OS X - Linux)
Moving to Vista — Download the latest drivers and unzip to a CD. (Includes all Windows 98SE-Vista and Mac) Check the FAQ before attempting to upgrade existing systems and learn where to get the new drivers! (December 14, '07)
Linux Notice! — The LocoBuffer-USB Linux driver is included in recent distros. Click here for JMRI help. Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) had a bug in the LocoBuffer-USB driver.
