Heya,

Buying a LG GSA-E10L for someone i know. He aint got usb 2.0

Any problems with running this as usb 1? it will it die a bad death ?

Get him an USB 2.0 card as well, its only a tenner  most USB stuff seems to be backwards compatible though.

I dont know a single piece of equipment that isnt, I was under the impression that the onus was on USB 2.0 design to be backwards compatible, not devices utilising it.
