I have got an iPod mini for a chrismas present. I see that i need to have USB 2.0 to use it. I dont know where to look to find out. I dont want to take it out if I dont have usb 2.0 because then I cant take it back....
Thanks
Mike

307216 2004-12-24 21:57:00 See if theres an entry in device manager under universal serial bus controllers. Saying USB2 enhanced Host controller, or enhanced Host controller. I take it u have XP/2k installed??

Or check out this BIOS. See if theres a USB 2 entry in there.

307218 2004-12-24 22:06:00 OK. Well dont think it'll work with 98 or under only 2k with SP4, or XP.

It wont work on your system ....You'll have to install 2k or XP to get it to work at all.

307219 2004-12-24 22:08:00 a quick search came up with this (www.neilturner.me.uk) . I don't know how accurate the info is, so it could pay to check it out further 4bes (2848)
307220 2004-12-24 22:14:00 Ok, cool, thanks for that. It wont work still ecause i dont have 2000+ :'( Tribomb (5547)
307221 2004-12-24 22:20:00 USB2 will work OK with W98se - you may need to buy a PCI to USB2 card if your motherboard does not natively support it. That is what I use with no problems.

307222 2004-12-24 22:25:00 Thats true. A USB2 PCI card should work. Just make sure u have a spare PCI slot in the case. Speedy Gonzales (78)

307224 2004-12-25 04:37:00 I have no idea if you have USB2.0 or not.
You should be able to use the equipment anyway as USB is backwardly compatible.

Just USB2 is faster than USB1.1. It still can be used!!!
