Hmm! I have a USB2 MP3 player that takes minutes to be recognized if I attach it to that USB 1 port. If I connect to the USB2 Port, almost instant detection.
I hate marginal equipment combinations (one may JUST meet the Minimum values, the other is hovering near the Maximum values.
is waiting to happen
)
BTW All my computers are close to 10 Years old, and all have USB2 ports (the 12 YO has just 2 USB 1 ports)
