It just tries to use the fastest speed it can get a stable connect at. It appears to try the new faster version first but if that doesn't work it switches to the slower speed and tries that. Because of my hardware, I have to use both on mine since some can only use the slow speed and some can use the high speed. As far as the actual connector itself, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter at all. It's one chip that controls it all anyway. Just like the PCI bus, it has one chip and that's it. I know I have switched my printer and camera around several times and it works the same no matter how I connect it. Now if you have the new version USB with everything hardware wise, you may be able to disable the old version so that it has no option but to use the new fast one. That way you can get the fast speed or a error message that it isn't working. Keep in mind tho, if you have a junky cable, it will limit the speed a LOT. My printer would not use the new fast version with a older cable. It does with the new cable tho. My camera just plain don't work with the new version no matter what. You may want to get a good quality cable to test with too. Someone correct me if I am off base here. Dale :-) :-)
