The old laptop only has USB 1.1 and I believe I read somewhere - can't

Thanks!
I'll read the doc .. but it looks like I really need to buy a new
laptop .. I was planning to do it this Xmas .. but what with the
"economy" I'm not sure it's the way to go any more..
Or buy a USB 2 PCMCIA/Cardbus card?
Any recommendations?
Not a recommendation but a comment as I did this.
Be careful of the power requirement. I has a USB hard drive which needed
1 amp. I bought a Connectland 2 port USB 2 PCMCIA Card but it needed an
external power supply to give more than 500mA. I bought one, doubling
the cost.
Eventually I tripped over the power cord, pulling it out of the card,
which seemed to damage the bus and I was never able to get the card to
work after that. Even a replacement did not work.
YMMV,
Tim
