----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Coffey" : 'LOOK' USB 2.0 OTG (On-The-Go) Digital Partner, Image Tank : : Sounds quite interesting. However on reading the screed, it mentions use of : a USB hub to connect USB 1.0 or USB 1.1 devices. (I think that was on the : USB OTG web page.) Have you tried your 'Look' with non-USB 2.0? And did it : work ok? : : I've had good results with the Apacer Disc Steno CP200 which is a : stand-alone multiple flash card reader and CD-R/RW burner. they're nice that's for sure, but the thought occured to me that many camera buyers are going to find themselves in the situation where the card reader/digital wallet they buy today may not suit tomorrows camera/mamory. I have a XS drive pro too, but this new toy will let me backup just about any usb device or anything that be connected via a usb reader So I hunted high and low and found a USB memory stick that was USB 1.0, connected it and the device did what USB 2 does best in such situations, it dropped it's speed to suit and copied the drive :-) Thinking more on this, there aren't too many USB 1.0 devices around to my knowledge which use the slower standard, apart from a few odd peripherals like scanners, printers and a few older CD drives but I wondered how it went with a USB 1.0 motherboard.. I connected it to my trusty old Palmax pd1100 and away she went, connected fine and presented it's self as a removable hard drive just as you'd expect - which reminded me of something. I experienced many PC's running XP in the work environment that thought they only had USB 1.0 on board.. they'd pop up a message saying i'd plugged a high speed USB device into a low speed hub. Annoying. I know the motherboards all had USB2.0 standard loaded, so what was XP doing? I fixed this on all the machines I used but to this day I still encounter XP machines that drivel on about being low speed. Hmm.. more MS nonsense. karl
