You can plug your USB 2.0 flash drive into that socket, yes. It will operate at USB 1.1 speed, but it will work. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

You'll get a little warning saying something like "this drive can perform faster..." but you can ignore that. Most USB 2.0 flash drives are backwards compatible with 1.1. It will just be slower but far more convenient to use in the front of the computer than in the back. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Yes, but it will run at the slower USB 1.1 speed. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
