As far as I know, there is absolutely no difference between a USB 1 and a =
2 cable.  Each of the machines I use has its own USB cable that stays with =
that machine, and I routinely use both USB 1 and USB 2 devices on each of =
the machines with no problem at all.

Now, just today, I did notice that the cable on my main machine at work =
was not working with an external hard drive mp3 player device, and it =
turned out to be the length of the cable that mattered.  It was a 6 foot =
cable.  Oddly enough, I have two of these external hard drive mp3 player =
devices, an Archos and a Napster, and it only mattered with the Napster =
device. =20
