Christ, and I used to remember a time when people actually bought hardware on what it could do for them, rather than just look at semi-irrelevant numbers...
I know the PC industry likes to abuse the USB for just about everything: hard drives, modems, scanners, etc, but what it was designed for was low bandwidth devices, and that's ALL. USB 1.1 might be a negative point for the Pegasos but it is one of the few parts of the actual board that don't reach minimum expected specs for this day and age. 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.
