I believe what Paul was saying was that _IF_ a USB 3.0 Controller is
designed to support both 3.0 AND 2.0 devices then the socket is
compatible with both 2.0 & 3.0 cables. However if you use a 2.0 cable
you have to use a 2.0 device. You cannot, TTBOMK, use a 2.0 cable with
a 3.0 device.
At least that's how I read his response.
HTH,
Mark
