I know the theory is that USB 2 works in OSX. I have a generic 5 port OHCI
USB 2 card in my beige running 10.2.8 that works fine as a USB 1 card with
a mouse, printer and a camera.
Is there any way short of buying a USB 2 peripheral and plugging it in to
see if the card supports USB 2 on my Mac?
The card may support 2.0, but prior to 10.3 the drivers aren't there, and I'm not sure the drivers in 10.3 are universal. A;; the theory about USB 2.0 is over the fact that Apple used a USB 2.0 chipset in later G4's.
I do know to enable USB 2 on my Sonnet Trio card requires a driver from sonnet, whereas usb 1 on the same card doesn't.
That said, I've found these Cruzer USB memory sticks from Sandisk <http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/cruzermini.asp> to be an incredibly useful sneakernet device. 256MB ones are $50 at Costco, where I got mine, when they have 'em in stock. I love mine and use it all the time. If you need, get one and see. Even at USB 1 speeds it's quite useful.
