-> -> -> Why are you limited to USB 1?   You can get  USB 2 adapters, with 
drivers, for 
-> -> -> under $10 USD (at Tiger). 
->  
-> -> Yup sure can. 
-> -> I'd need a slot stretcher however as the sound card and BIOS'ed  
-> -> greater than 34 Gig I/O card and sound card take them all. 
-> -> Hewlett Packard Pavilion. 
->  
-> IF one stays away from External CD/DVD burners and Large 500K to 1 gig 
-> file transfers to the USB device one can live with USB-1 quite easily. 
-> I use my 256Mb USB flash drive frequently on a USB-1 machine, The one I 
-> am using right now. And I am happy. 
-> I also use my USB 4 gig hard drive once i na while. I just have to wait 
-> a bit longer for the files to transfer. 

I could live with OVERNIGHT backups to an external hard drive.
But that's just going to have to wait a bit.
Right now I'm in gravy anyway.
