Any decent USB 2.0 device will work fine in a USB 1.1 (and I assume 1.0 as well) port. It'll just run slower (and if you're on Windows it'll yell at you about the ability for the drive to operate faster). Some hardware like that used for audio or video recording/transfer may refuse to work on anything under 2.0, but then it should just just give an error message or not be recognized. Thumb drives are simplistic enough that they'll work under multiple revisions without issue. It should be fine. On 2/24/07, cuffy10@xxxxxxxxxxx <cuffy10@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
What happens if you plug a thumb drive into a USB1.1 socket ? The USB2.0 card quit because the PCI slot died and I'm out of PCI slots. I don't want to scramble the thumb drive ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- cuffy10@xxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different… ** YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED ** DONATE to Hurricane Katrina victims: http://www.redcross.org/ DONATE Housing (Spare room, shelter) http://www.hurricanehousing.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://www.computertalkshop.com/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://www.computertalkshop.com/faq.htm To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://computertalkshop.com/other_cts_lists.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
