Michelle,
Yes you can plug in a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1.0 socket and yes it will
run at USB 1 speed. Least my printer and scanner both did under XP until I
installed the drivers for my 2.0 card. The lack of support from Win98 for
USB 2 is a different issue so I don't think an add on card would do you any
good without an OS upgrade.

Hi, am I understanding this correctly?
Usb 2.0 and Usb 1.1 are basically the same, exept Usb 2.0 is faster?
Will a Usb2.0 device work with a standard usb port then?
(Even if at a slower rate?)
I understand the logic in that you can't make the standard usb port work
any faster than it was designed to do, but am I right in thinking you can
chop and change? (even if the usb2.0 device ends up slower than it should
be?)
As I am currently running win98, I have not used usb 2.0 as yet (as far as I
am aware).
(Excuse me if this question has already been asked, I must have missed it)
