I have a USB2 Flash card reader and a USB2 card in my G4/400. Recently he USB2 cable developed a fault and in the short term I have used a USB1 cable in its place. I do not have a real benchmark but I think the speed downloading photos from the reader to the computer is more or less unchanged. I am sure I should get a new USB2 cable but would appreciate informed comment on this.
