If this is Windows, go to the Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device
Manager. Click on Universal Serial Bus controllers. Look down the list. If you see OHCI or Open Host Controller or UHCI or Universal Host Controller, you have a USB 1.1 controller. If you see EHCI or Ehnahced Host Controller, you have a USB 2.0 USB controller. If you see an EHCI controller, you should also see a UHCI or OHCI controller as well.

Dell told me I could find this information in the BIOS. I looked. It's not there. Can't find it in Device Manager either. Responding via email would be best. Thanks, Craig You haven't said which OS or BIOS you have so I can't tell you which screen to find it on. Generally speaking, the Device Manager will / should tell you the "hardware" version of the USB. You want to select the "host controller" for the installed USB device then click "properties" and then select the "General" tab in the dialog. The label "Hardware Version:" will have the USB version (e.g., 002). The driver version is the version of the driver software (e.g., v4.01). |

Ive wondered about this question too - thanks Marc - I believe the only
differance between 1.1 and 2.0 is that 2.0 has more bandwidth - is this correct ? Ben "Marc Reinig" wrote in message m...

From a users point of view, yes (more or less).
But that is like saying the only difference between a Ferrari and a Mac Truck is the Ferrari goes faster. ;=) Marc Reinig System Solutions "Ben" wrote in message ...
