USB 1 and USB2......

[TweakerXP]

Will a USB1 device work in a USB2 port? or vice versa??

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge . . . yes!

However, the speed will still be limited on USB1 or USB1 devices.

BipolarBill will be along any minute now to answer this with the facts...but in the mean time, I just read some **** at the following USB site that I really don't like...seems Sir Bill Gates has once again put the screws to his Win9x users. This guy is gonna force his latest software down our throats by any hook or crook he possibly can.

You know the drill...you can still buy aftermarket tires for a Model A Ford, but you cannot buy software for a 5 year old OS.

Yes and No

Depends on the Device you are trying to Power up

USB 2 on the PC is backward compatible with USB 1 devices

but USB 1 on the PC is not compaitble with USB 2 devices that you try to connect

is the picture clear enough? :)

Not quite true.
USB1.1 devices will work fine on any USB2.0 ports, BUT ...
USB2.0 devices will work fine on any USB1.1 ports at USB1.1 speed (~1.1MB/s) as long as it meets all the power specs (look for portable USB2.0 CD-R/W for reference, they all got double formula :rolleyes: )
