RE: EMU

Just a few more things.

When you hear someone say a DAC runs at USB2.0 they usually mean that it runs using high speed mode. Its a bit of a misnomer since USB spec 2.0 covers all three speeds.

USB 2.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible with 1.1, thus a 2.0 device plugged into a 1.1 port should still work, but only at full speed. Similarly a 1.1 device plugged into a 2.0 port will work but only at full speed.

The 0404USB is a bit unusual in this regard, it ONLY runs at high speed, so if you plug it into a 1.1 port (there are still a few out there) it will not connect because the 1.1 port cannot support the speed it needs.
