Starting with May 2013 the syn1588^® Live CDROM is replaced by a stylish USB stick. The syn1588^® Live CDROM enables simple test and evaluation of syn1588^® PCIe NIC as well as the syn1588^® PTP Stack without the need for installing drivers or software. One just boots the PC using the syn1588^® Live CDROM. 

Additionally the syn1588^® Live CDROM acts as the resource for drivers, syn1588^® software and utilities as well as the syn1588^® User Guide. 

The brand new syn1588^® USB stick is made up of wood – one immediately feels the difference. The main goal for changing the storage medium was to increase the data capacity and decrease the volume. Additionally USB sticks are more robust; an important factor since our syn1588^® units are shipped all over the world.
