I know that it is hard to deny something that your have personally experienced, but there is nothing in the standard that would make an old USB 1 cable not work with USB 2. USB is just two twisted pairs with a particular type of connector. USB 2 added some new (tiny) connector types to the standard and increased the length of the cable from 3 to 5 metres. Nothing that would make an old cable not work. Perhaps your old cable had a defect? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
