OpaQue 15 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah, Both should be compatible with each other because they will always have backward support.However, if some device has sharp requirements of a USB 2.0 port, then I don't think that is going to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only $5 + (if you know where to buy it). I have an old computer that only have usb 1.1 so i bought a pci usb 2.0 card so i could get better speed between my external hdd and computer. And it worked great. Bought it for $5 at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ on one of their "green light special" sell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
