| 438194 | 2006-03-15 01:19:00 | is there some device you can plug in to usb and it will tell you if its usb 1 or 2. I know you can find it in software but not all customers are comfy with getting into it. Cheers Jim |

| 438197 | 2006-03-15 01:52:00 | Wireless USB is OK . I use it here (11g wireless adapters) . If you're talking about Wireless networking . (or Infra-red)? I think they're better than using a PCI wireless card in a desktop . Since its not behind the case, and USB wireless adapters usually comes with an extension . So, you get a better signal . The good thing about these ones, are they can also be used as access points . So, it saves you from buying a separate AP . Not much at all ($35 each) . |

| 438198 | 2006-03-15 02:06:00 | Good site Greg, I have another in the same vein question: How can one tell what devices are hooked up to what USB ports? I recognize the IOMEGA and my powered 4-port hub/extension . . . but the others are not signified as to what they are or what they do . . . . . Any way to figger it out? |

| 438199 | 2006-03-15 02:16:00 | If the device is removable and the safely remove hardware icon is on the taskbar (as in the case of USB Mass storage devices) . Double click on it, it'll tell you what the device is . It'll also tell u in the BIOS what the device is, if its plugged in . Like I have a USB digital cam, it just shows removable drive / letter in my computer . Same goes for the card reader . It only shows removable drive / letter in my computer . BUT under the remove hardware safely icon, under USB Mass Storage devices, it shows Digital camera USB device, and Generic volume (I - L) HS-MMC / HS-SD USB device, HS-SM,HS-CF,HS-MS USB device . Altho it doesnt say WHAT USB port the device is in . |

I'd never heard of it before I read the article Hmm ok, the USB printer I use here works fine via the wireless network . Works the same as if it were networked with an ethernet cable . |

When they say Wireless USB I think they mean something similar to Bluetooth, not a wireless USB dongle to connect to wireless network (ad-hoc or access point) |

| 438203 | 2006-03-15 02:24:00 | Any way to figger it out?I like the Americanism "figger" corruption of the all-too-Americanism "figure" in that context. Reminds me of a Western I watched where they called mosquitos "skeeters (www.fairharbor.com)". :thumbs: |
