2030T/2033/2033P/2033S/2039 Appendix A About AEC-4420P/PB 1 Overview ACARD AEC-4420P and 4420PB are converters that turn internal IDE interfaces into external USB ones. They are chiefly used together with ACARD Copy Controller series. AEC-4420P can easily connect a CD\DVD writer or a hard drive that is connected to a standalone copy controller to PC through the USB interface, but AEC-4420PB can only connect a CD\DVD writer to PC. Then, you can control the CD\DVD writer or the hard drive through PC.
