USB (1/2?)

[Art Landrey]

Recently I purchased an enclosure that is labeled "IDE to USB 2.0," 
inserted a hard drive and connected it via USB cable to my original 
Bondi iMac 233. The drive (a 13GB Maxtor, which I had previously 
replaced in my newer iMac) showed up on the desktop immediately even 
though I hadn't yet changed the jumpers -- a pleasant surprise, since I 
didn't have any schematic for switching from the master setting anyway!

Then, when I ran Disk First Aid to verify the disk, "USB v2.1.1" 
appeared after the name of the drive -- another surprise, since I was 
expecting to see only "USB 1.(something)" on the screen. I know that 
USB 2 is backward compatible, but where would I see that, in fact, the 
iMac is only running at the USB 1 speed?

Thanks,
Art
