Why only USB 1.1? With most peripherals (mice, keyboards, pensticks, printers, cameras, hard drives, etc.) being USB 2.0, this will be a major disadvantage for the boards. Otherwise, the spec is fairly impressive. I'm almost tempted! :-)

Are you telling me you type so fast that a USB1.1 keyboard can`t keep up ?

:-D Okay, so maybe mice and keyboards aren't an issue, but it would certainly affect USB pendrives, harddrives, and digital cameras. :roll:

I know the PC industry likes to abuse the USB for just about everything: hard drives, modems, scanners, etc

Abuse? USB was always intended to be a universal form of connection for all sorts of devices, hence USB = Universal Serial Bus, ie. for universal applications!

but what it was designed for was low bandwidth devices, and that's ALL.

Errr... no it wasn't.

480Mbps is hardly low bandwidth! :lol:

Besides, the USB 2.0 standard has been around since April 2000, so there is no excuse for these boards not supporting it.

And if anyone finds the bandwidth of 1.1 lacking, then perhaos they shouldn't be using the USB for whatever they're doing at all.

USB 1.1 = 12Mbps
USB 2.0 = 480Mbps

So evidently USB 1.1 is lacking, which is why I use/prefer USB 2.0.
