General

Magic TopLAN is an USB to USB network device.

Package
One USB MAgic TopLAN device, two USB Cables, a driver diskette and a manual.

The Review
Don't you hate setting up a Network ?  IRQ conflicts, shared drives who are not showing up, PCI slots taken, network neighborhood reports only one client. Ugh! I've most certainly had my share of pain while setting up networks. Well, have no fear if you have USB ports on both computers the Magic TopLAN is the ultimate solution for setting up a network (Windows 95/98) easy and quickly..

The TopLAN is a small USB device which you need to place between two computers.  You are able to connect up to 127 computers through an USB hub. However the average gamer like you and me will be just happy with two to six computers connected for some serious multi-player gameplay.
