| 77817 | 2002-09-08 21:42:00 | Is there a contest for the dumbest question on this forum? If so, I humbly beg to enter this one in the contest... I have a desktop USB hub for my PeeCee (a Belkin jobbie), and am installing a USB 2.0 card in the box. Will the existing hub work at the USB 2.0 speeds, or do I have to buy a new hub built for USB 2.0? See, I told you! Thanks for your patience and ideas. John |

| 77819 | 2002-09-08 22:09:00 | Ah... That is what I feared. I wasn't sure whether they did anything to the signal and were therefore USB version specific, or whether they were just a conduit. Thanks. John |
