usb 2.0//usb1.1

Comment:

i am thinking of buying an mp3 player. probably the iPod or Creative Jukebox3 but have noticed that they have usb2.0 connections. my problem is that my computer only has the usb1.1 and i aint sure if the mp3 players are backwards compatible. i dont have a firewire and have no spare pci slots to install a usb2 card. serves me right for buying it on the cheap. any help much appreciated. dave

And there maybe the problem as USB 1.1 has a data rate os around 11MB/sec. while USB 2 has 480MB/sec.!
