Your assumption is correct. USB 2 is backwards compatible with USB 1, so the connection will work fine, you just won't get the full speed. To step out of the "theoretical" and into the "real world", my neice and nephew both have iPods (one has the Video one the Nano), they are using them on a PC, when the plug them in WIn XP nicely reports they will get better performance if they use a USB 2.0 port (which they don't have on their PC), and then starts iTunes and lets them use the iPod just fine. Song transfers are just a little on the slow side that is all. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
