Yeah - USB 1.1 is sodding slow at about 950 kbytes/second.  You will need
wither a lot of patience, or a USB 2 system.





I brought one with a genlogic chipset, and although I could get the device to be recogized and could access small file it soon froze my machine when trying to create partions bigger than about 5G or accessing files biger than a MB. The solution was to get a USB 2.0 card and now it goes sweet.
