Using Win98SE on an old Deminsion L433c. It has USB1.1 (I think that's the version, I know it's 1.something). I recently bought a Digital Camera that uses USB2.0. Question, is USB2.0 backward compatible with USB1.x? The camera is Kodak and I don't want to load their software and screw things up if I find out there's no compatibility between the two.
USB 2.0 devices are backward compatible with 1.1 - will just operte at the slower 1.1 transmission speed. If you have a free PCI slot, why not just add a 2.0 USB card?
Thanks! Good suggestion on the PCI USB2.0 card, think I'll do that. Coming out of the camera the pics are in the 248-275K range so even 1.1 shouldn't be toooooooo bad though! Again, thanks.
Howdy! Guess what! I'm retired now, got a Class C motorhome and the wife and I are on the road almost all the time. That's the reason for the USB question. I'm trying to off-load some stuff at my son's house... In the rig I have a Dell Laptop now and it works great. I'm getting ready to couple it with a MOTOSAT/Datastorm system (uses the Hughes satellites) and a Linksys WAP11 (or similiar) wireless router so I have access REGARDLESS OF WHERE I'm AT!
Can't wait. In the meantime I'm not on-line near as much as I use to be...
Once I get the Datastorm installed, and am able to get back on-line more, I also plan to keep a Blogger Log of our travels and will pass you the URL at that time...
