>Will USB 2.0 devices work just fine, but at lower speed, on a USB 1.1 bus? 

Yes, but with caveats. I own an external Maxtor drive that works fine at both 
2.0 and 1.1 (musch slower). However, I think it depends on both the device and 
the usb cable. It is my understanding that not all older 1.1 cables 
were 'compliant' with the usb standard and as such these cables will not work 
when plugged into a 2.0 connection. Upgrading the cable usually fixes the 
problem.
