Hi,

A friend of mine has just bought a digital camera from Japan, and the shop assisstant has told her it is set up for Japanese USB ports only.

As far as I knew, USB is not country dependent.

Could there be any truth in this?

Thanks,

Phil

First time I ever hear such a thing. I’ll try to look for some info and I’ll get back to you on that.

The only thing I can think of that would be a Japanese item would be the 2.88MB floppy disk. I’ve also never hear of Japanese USB ports.
