Thanks for the info. I got the PC from a guy who got it from a guy who got it from a guy . . . . So the 4 or 5 year age is the guess of the last guy in that chain. So I was hoping for a way to more definitively determine which version of USB the PC has on it before buying an external disk drive that is spec'ed as requiring USB 2.
Is there a driver I can look at? Or somewhere in the BIOS? (I looked around in the BIOS but found no mention of USB version.) It uses the Intel 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller -- does that chip set give an indication of USB version? Is there a snippet of code I can run that will indicate USB version?
Thanks again, Steve
