No, there is no difference in the cables and if USB 2 is properly installed,
it should be backward-compatible with 1.1 devices.
For anyone interested, I use the USB cable for a Freedom Scientific PAC Mate
with my Book Port (it's always connected to the computers at home and in the
office and is always available) and it works flawlessly. I've noticed no
change whatever with any version of the Bookport Transfer software.

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
