I did this with doom 1, we played it on lan when we had IT class. The fun thing was that the teacher had this monitor tool wich allowed him to see all our screens. What he didnt know was that when we where running doom in DOS it just gave him a black screen. I renamed doom.exe to for example powerpoint or word and he thought whe where all working.
Doom 1 \o/
EDIT: I played it from a USB Stick, thats why I replied :p

I guess when I added the '2.0' I gave the impression I meant 480Mb/s or whatever the limit is..
I didn't =\
