What it is:
This application is used for really fast data transfer between a Topfield 5000 disk, and Mac OS X.
What it can do:
* Give access to a Topfield 5000 PVR formatted hard disk, that is directly connected to your Mac, via IDE, USB or FireWire. (This means you have to open your TF, and take the disk out of it.)
* You can read the directories, copy files from and to the TF-disk, and delete files from the TF-disk.
* Use it for movies, TAPs and MP3s.
* Be aware, that when writing to the disk, the Topfield will do a "Verifying files and folders". I never had any loss of data, but it's your responsibylity if you want try.
What it can not do:
* Access the disk, while it is in the Topfield, and the Mac is connected to the TF via USB. There are other applications to do this, for example MPEG Streamclip.
How fast is it?
* Up to 10 x faster than a Topfield <----> Mac connection.
* IDE: I did not test, probably faster than FireWire
* FireWire: about 20 MB/sek. Less than 1 min/GB
* USB 2.0: about 12 MB/sek. Less than 1,5 min/GB
