It is similar to USB 2 in that respect, but USB 1 is even a little less 
efficient than USB 2 in some aspects.  For example, the maximum number of bytes 
that can be transferred in a single USB 1 packet (for something like a disk) is 
only 64 bytes, while in USB 2 it is 512 bytes.  But there is so much overhead 
(framing, flow control, timing, synchronizaton, queueing, packet 
prioritization, error detection & correction, etc.) in USB that you can never 
even get close to the bus speed (12 Mbps or 1.5 MBps in USB 1) with the amount 
of actual data being transferred.  The problem even gets worse when you have 
more than one device on the same bus.
