You will need to add a USB 2.0 host controller - as a PCI card to a desktop computer, or a PCMCIA card to a notebook.

Answer: WAP V2 has been designed to be backward compatible in different ways depending on the part of WAP you are considering. The protocols and security of WAP V1 are included in WAP V2, with some enhancements, thereby allowing backwards compatibility directly. To this WAP V1 protocols have been added the new Internet protocols, i.e. TCP/IP, HTTP/1.1 and TLS. See similar questions...

In general, rdiff-backup does not strive to make newer clients compatible with older servers (or vice versa). However, there is no intention to purposefully make different versions incompatible across the network -- changes are introduced primarily to fix bugs or introduce new features that cannot be implemented without breaking the network protocol. Furthermore, rdiff-backup does try to make it possible to read older archives. See similar questions...

Yes, several leading consumer electronics companies (including Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Pioneer, Sharp and LG) have already demonstrated products that can read/write CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs using a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical head, so you don't have to worry about your existing DVD collection becoming obsolete. In fact, most of the Blu-ray players coming out will support upscaling of DVDs to 1080p/1080i, so your existing DVD collection will look even better than before. See similar questions...

Yes, but the list of compatible games will only be known at launch. The AU PS3 has had hardware emulation disabled in favour of software emulation, unlike the US version. Whether or not this will lead to better or worse backwards compatibility is not known. See similar questions...

USB 2.0 is a complete overhaul to the Universal Serial Bus input/output bus protocol which allows much higher speeds than the older USB 1.1 standard did. USB 1.1 allowed a maximum transfer rate of 12Mbits/second. That rate is now called 'USB.' Though some manufacturers label their products Full-Speed USB. Note that this seems a bit deceptive. Its easy to mistake Full-Speed for Hi-Speed. an aside, USB mice and keyboards need only 1.5Mbits/s to function. See similar questions...

The best answer to this is a firm "maybe". DOS device drivers are available for most USB and Firewire controllers. If such drivers are added to a DOS boot diskette so that your USB or Firewire drive is "seen" by DOS, SpinRite will also be able to "see" and operate with it. However, the performance of the drive through the DOS drivers and the serial (USB/Firewire) cable will likely be far lower than if the external drive were connected directly to a PC's motherboard controller.

USB 2.0 has a raw data rate at 480Mbps, and it is rated 40 times faster than its predecessor interface, USB 1.1, which tops at 12Mbps. Originally, USB 2.0 was intended to go only as fast as 240Mbps. See similar questions...

USB 2.0 technology and drivers are subject to licensing by Microsoft (and other companies). This licensing means that they can only be distributed with new USB Universal System Bus is a "plug-and-play" interface that consolidates the present serial port configuration on the back of the PC into a single port from which up to 127 peripheral devices can be daisy chain connected. With USB, a new device can be added to a computer without having to add an adapter card or even turn the computer off. See similar questions...

With speed 40 times more than that of USB 1.1, USB 2.0 broaden the range of external peripherals that can be used on a computer. Even with multiple high-speed peripherals connected to a USB 2.0 bus, the system will less likely to hit the bandwidth bottleneck. The new specification also inherits the current USB??s Plug and Play and hot-swapping capability as well as providing backward compatibility for USB 1.1 hardware, allowing existing user base to upgrade seamlessly.
