Notes
1 The WBK20A is capable of higher transfer rates, but is limited in actual applications due to such
factors as: PC architecture, operating system, available resources, and software implementation.
2 The CA-191-1 cable [used with WBK20A] can not be used with the WBK20. WBK20 uses cable
CA-157-1. The two cables are not interchangeable.
