Out of curiosity, what do you intend to use the USB 1.1 ports for?
(I'm assuming you meant USB v1.1 since AFAIK v1.0 was not widely
adopted.)

I've got a PC laptop (or maybe two) around here which only has USB 1.1
ports. The only thing USB 1.1 is good for (IMO) is attaching low data
rate peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard or printer or maybe
moving non-big files to/from USB attached storage. I suppose it would
be OK for copying pictures from a camera if they weren't too big and
you had patience.

OTOH, I have also tried to use USB v1.1 to attach an external drive.
My experience was that it really won't work for most of the things
people might want to use an external drive for these days.

FWIW,
