Re: How to Upgrade USB 1.1 port to USB 2.0 port

I had both USB1 (onboard) and USB2 (IDE card) both working on this pc when
it had XPHome (as stated originally). It's only after hdd failure, so new
hdd, new install of XPPro, that USB2 no longer works.
I didn't "upgrade" USB1 to USB2 - Iboth USB1 and USB2 co-existed and worked
at correct speeds under XPHome - 6 USB1 ports, 2 USB2 ports on added
USB2card, plus USB2 hub plugged into USB2 port and working too.
