Ideally, yes. USB 2.0 architecture uses the same cables and connectors as USB 1.1 compliant products.

You may have heard that USB 2.0 is "backward-compatible" with USB 1.0/1.1 (Full-Speed USB). While that's...

Yes, USB2.0 devices can work well at USB1.1 port, but the speed will be limited to the maximum speed of USB1.1, that is 12MBPS. The entire bus under the USB 1.1 root hub will slow to 12Mbps. The operating system will probably notify the user about the sub-optimal configuration and recommend for a better course of action.

The USB 2.0 Flash Drive is fully backwards compatible with USB 1.1 sockets. However the device will only transfer data at the speed of the sockets.

You may have heard that USB 2.0 is "backward-compatible" with USB 1.0/1.1 (Full-Speed USB). While that's true, USB 1.1 is also forward-compatible with USB 2.0. Whenever a system has USB 2.0 ports, you'll find the "Enhanced" USB controller in Device Manager, but you will also find two other USB controllers. These two to mantain backward compatibility to USB 1.1 devices. Each USB 2.0 host actually has 3 chips onboard.

When trying to install the USB driver in Windows 98, there is an error message saying that some file is missing A file newdev.dll is needed for the installation of the USB driver in Windows 98. you can download this file from http://www.dlldump.com/cgi-bin/dlldownload.cgi?path=dllfiles/N Search for the file newdev.dll and install this file into the When trying to install the USB adapter in a WinXP machine, the PC reboots automatically after the installation with no error messages.

USB allowed plug and play for peripherals and Apple and Windows operating systems, often requiring no driver installation. Intended as an upgrade for USB 1.1, USB 2.0 is the next-generation peripheral connection for personal computers. Not only does the new standard provide additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, but it also offers Plug-and-Play capability and full backward compatibility for legacy USB devices. USB 2.0's data transfer rate is 480MBps.

For all our products, if it is designed as USB 2.0, it will be clearly marked on the item and/or its package.

Not entirely, because many products such as generic keyboards, mice, joysticks and audio speakers do not require the faster speed of the new USB 2.0 technology. Only bandwidth-hungry devices, such as webcams, scanners, and high-capacity storage systems, will need all the speed. However, next-generation systems will come with USB 2 ports rather than USB 1.1.

USB 2.0 devices will be marked USB 2.0 on the top. If yours is not marked USB 2.0, it is not a USB 2.0 compliant reader.

No. However, the new USB 2.0 archiclecture allows more high-speed USB 1.1 devices, such as web cams, audio devices, to share the bandwidth. Developers need to follow USB 2.0 spec in order to design higher speed peripherals that can take advantage of the extra bandwidth. USB 1.1 devices still operate at 12Mbps at full-speed and 1.5Mbps at low-speed on a USB 2.0 bus. Even though USB 1.1 devices won't run any faster, they can work alongside of USB 2.0 devices on the same bus.

Install the USB 2.0 driver (the driver for the USB 2.0 version of our 6in1 reader). It may be used for USB 1.1 as well.
