USB 1.1 and 2.0 questions
-
is it true that regardless yr system and device is 1.1 or 2.0, the usb wire is the same right ?
-
shld be correct.. jus like the ethernet cable can be used for both 10Mbps network and 100Mbps network.Originally posted by bismarck:is it true that regardless yr system and device is 1.1 or 2.0, the usb wire is the same right ?

Yep.
Both USB1.1 and 2.0 devices and onboard ports (i.e. your motherboard,etc) are both forward and backward compatiable.
The only difference is you might not experience the full-advantage of the technology.
Example, plugging a high speed USB2.0 device on a USB1.1 port.
In this scenario, the device will work only in USB1.1 standard. -

Wrong. There are devices with no backwards compatibility in the market for 1 month when usb 2.0 was introduced.Originally posted by octega:Yep.

In fact that was why MOTHERBOARDS was created to be able to switch from 2.0 to 1.1.

he's jus asking abt the usb cable leh...

Ah, ic. Maybe these manufacuters did not follow the USB consortium's recommendations. Unless the consortium is also slow in defining the specifications.Originally posted by Nelstar:Wrong. There are devices with no backwards compatibility in the market for 1 month when usb 2.0 was introduced.
From what I know this backward and forward compatiability specification is fixed for now. However, previously when it is first launched then I really dunno.
For those interested on USB Specification, what is the USB consortium and what does it do. Go to

Don't be too sure until you study it.Originally posted by octega:Ah, ic. Maybe these manufacuters did not follow the USB consortium's recommendations. Unless the consortium is also slow in defining the specifications.

btw go to shoutbox...got questions -
try firewire aka i link..
also as gd as usb 2.0 -
Hmm...You are right on that part as well, as the consortium sets the specifications, if the manufacuters don't follow it closely, it is as good as not having it.Originally posted by Nelstar:Don't be too sure until you study it.
War? nah...I open to suggestion as well, if I am wrong, just correct me

firewire faster than USB2.0Originally posted by BaByBoY:try firewire aka i link..

make that MUCH fasterOriginally posted by FireIce:firewire faster than USB2.0
