There is no mechanical difference of which I am aware. Plug your device in and do something like "lsusb" or "lshw" to figure out into which bus your device was plugged. When I got my new machine a number of years ago, I discovered that the only USB2 port that was on the motherboard was not properly connected to the exterior of the case. I had to do some rewiring to bring it out for use. > Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario slainte mhath, RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs -- ~\ -- ~\ <hpv.tricolour.net> <www.TriColour.net> -- \___ o \@ @ Ride yer bike!
