232936 2004-04-29 09:08:00 I have an older computer with USB 1 connections. I want to buy a peripheral with USB connectors. Will the new gadget work/fit with my computer? I am not so interested in speed. dst1512 (1398)
232937 2004-04-29 09:18:00 Sorry, the new gadget is USB 2 dst1512 (1398)
232938 2004-04-29 09:21:00 What peripheral? You may not want speed, but the peripheral might have to have it?

Is it USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 (the peripheral?)

What version of Windows? (Older versions such as Windows 95 did not support USB well, even though sockets exist for it)

It may need a USB 2.0 port, but we can't advise as we don't know what a "gadget" is. Some are OK on 1.1, some not.

232940 2004-04-29 09:30:00 I use Windows ME and the gadget is a digital camera dst1512 (1398)
232941 2004-04-29 09:43:00 Should be OK, but check the specs to make sure its "backwards compatable" with USB 1.1

Windows ME will be just fine with USB. It should be "plug and play"

Even without any special camera software loaded, the camera *should* show up in Windows Explorer (File Explorer) as a "removable drive" and allow access to the image files.

USB 1.1 will be slower to transfer the files, but still OK provided its compatable. And I would be surprised if it wasn't.
