Ah, good find Brian, that does look strikingly similar, if only they showed
the back panel. The URL supplied is [url]http://pluscom.cn[/url] which has sod all on
it. The software on the ATA is dated Feb 2006 and it's V1.0. I hope there
isn't any bugs, due to the apparent lack of mfr support. And yes, there is
a manual supplied, it's the full retail boxed unit.
